They are trying to determine if there are cancer cells of any kind - or if it is evena pre-cancerous lesion.  Make sure to follow up on the results and remember that melanoma is only ONE kind of cancer; basal cell and squamous cell are the other less serious possibilities though all 3 need immediate treatment.
