Patient Synopsis- Exam: Part 2
(14 points, .5 point per cell)
Deconstruct each of the seven red, bolded terms below by
breaking them down into their component parts and then provide a
definition.
The patient is a 66 year old male who has an oozing
lesion on his left earlobe. The area appeared to be healing
but then reopened with renewed exudation which occasioned him to
seek medical care. He reports a history of working in road
construction for many years, with minimal attempts to protect
himself from exposure to the sun. The patient was referred to an
oncologist by his family physician. Following examination, a
sample of tissue from the lesion was obtained for biopsy. The
report came back with a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma. The
patient will undergo excision of the lesion. The prognosis after
treatment is pending the pathology report following the
surgery.
