My step-father recently went to a
dermatologist and found 5 different spots
of melanoma. They did a biospy and it
came back cancer. The dermatologist has
referred him on and said it is mohse.
Does anyone know what that means?

Do you mean mohs surgery? Mohs is a type
of surgery, but it is usually used to
remove basal cell carcinoma or squamous
cell carcinoma, not so much melanoma.
But, maybe that's the technique they plan
to use to excise the malignancy. That's
the only thing I can think of that it
means. Hope that helps!
