That's what makes it funny. Even more so if he was just writing it straight and didn't realize how it would read cold. Then again, maybe it's just me, because my doctor and I always make f/u jokes when he does his doctor's notes.
Ah! Yes, I confess it was unintentional.

Plastic Surgeon's nurse just called.

Benign.

She needs to talk to the doctor to see if there will be a need for a third surgery.

She apologized for creating the perception that anything was wrong.

wonderful news - glad the worrying can stop - and glad she apologized.

Perhaps you are thinking of hemangiomas? Nevi are neural crest cells and are made of melanocytic cells and sometimes neural tissue. They can sometimes lead to melanoma or rhabdomyosarcomas and other poorly differentiated tumors.

Henagiomas typically are a benign collection of capillary or venous structures that don't typically progress to malignancy although they can cause problems if they grow large rapidly or in an awkward location, such as around the eye. Superficial capillary hemangiomas often regress over time and even resolve completely.
Probably I was.

Great news! I'm sorry you all had to go through the worry.
