Case Study Assignment (Part 4): Directions: Below is a case study presentation of a patient with a condition covered in Chapter 5 in your textbook. Read the case study and provide complete and detailed responses for the questions below. Some questions will ask for information not included within this chapter. Use your textbook, a medical dictionary, or any other reference material you choose to answer these questions. A 40-year-old female is seen in the dermatologist’s office, on the recommendation of her internist, for a workup for suspected MM on her left forearm. The suspicious lesion was a blackish skin growth approximately 1 cm in diameter. The dermatologist examined the patient and a tissue biopsy was performed. The biopsy confirmed that the growth was MM. Surgery was performed to remove the tumor. In addition, a 5 cm by 5 cm square of skin immediately surrounding the tumor was also moved. Because the removed skin included all three layers of skin, a skin graft was necessary to cover the open area. The donor site was the patient’s thigh. Following recovery from surgery, the patient was referred to an oncologist for follow-up care. Critical Thinking Questions Answer the questions below regarding this case study. Do not just copy words out of the case study; translate all medical terms. To answer some of these questions, you may need to look up information from another chapter of this textbook.

1. What pathological condition does the internist think this patient may have? Look this condition up in a reference source, and include a short description of it in your answer.

MM or malignant melanoma is a skin cancer that arises from melanin cells within the top layer of the skin; this is a common form of cancer. (WebMD, 2019). A malignant melanoma may develop and attach to the deeper layers of skin and spread throughout the body which will cause new tumor growth(s) (WebMD, 2. 2019) What diagnostic test did the dermatologist perform? Describe it in your own words. The type of testing done was a tissue biopsy; this is a test that involves removing of a part of the abnormal skin to send for testing. This is done to determine if it is cancerous or harmless. 3. Explain why a skin graft was necessary.

The use of a skin graft is necessary because a large area of open tissue layers were exposed and needed to be covered with a part of the healthy skin tissue cells from another part of the body in order to promote skin regrowth and healing. 4. Explain why it was necessary to remove so much additional skin tissue al ong with the tumor.

Due to the aggressive and fast-spreading characteristics of the skin cancer, they needed to remove a larger perimeter of the area to ensure that there were no cancerous cells remaining in the skin tissue. 5. What is the specialty of an oncologist?

Oncologist specialize in diagnosing and treating various forms of cancer.

6. What do you think the possible follow-up care might include?

Follow-up may include another biopsy from the same area, and annual monitoring in order to ensure no cancerous cells are present; the oncologist will provide the patient with tips to reduce the chances of the MM reoccurring.
