395550003 |Distance of malignant neoplasm from surgical margin in excised specimen (observable entity)|

384891002 |Distance of malignant neoplasm from closest uninvolved surgical margin in excised specimen (observable entity)|

Use of "closest" and "uninvolved" when discussing closest margin.  Neither word used when discussing margin distance, etc.  when not specific to "closest" concept

Per discussion - "uninvolved" will NOT be included in any of the distance observables.  "Closest" will be included for those concepts specific to "closest margins"
