For the record

Elwood P. Dowd had a lesion removed from his scalp on 12/2/09. The biopsy results (12/15/09) said that the growth was a "very early evolving squamous cell carcinoma" arising in an area of Actinic Keratosis; the growth did not extend deeper than the first layer of skin.

Update: On April 21 I had another spot removed, this time from my left ear. The biopsy results (4/27/10) were identical: a "very early evolving squamous cell carcinoma" arising in an area of Actinic Keratosis; the growth did not extend deeper than the first layer of skin. This time she added that it was very superficial and "in situ."
