| name | Depth of deep margin involved by invasive melanoma [Length] in Skin melanoma by Light microscopy | ||
| description | This term is used to report the depth of the surgical margin when the tumor involves the deep margin. In this case, the actual depth of tumor invasion cannot be determined from the surgical specimen because the tumor extends beyond the margin, so instead it is reported as "at least {#} mm", where # is the surgical margin depth. To report the depth of invasion when the melanoma does not involve the deep margin, use [LOINC: 44661-7]. | ||

| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Skin melanoma | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
