Just in case you needed something to remind you not to take your good health for granted…here’s a video that really drives that home for you.
This was a last minute kind of “pop”. This is the courier/driver for our dermatopathology slide service. We see him a few minutes on a daily basis at work. Well, a couple weeks ago, he showed me this bump that he had near his elbow, and before he had time to get really nervous about it, we set him up for a quick excision!
It was interesting too, and you will see why…
So actually, I don’t have the exact diagnosis, but I believe that he had a pilomatricoma with a surrounding minor hematoma/blood clot from recent trauma. Unfortunately, when they embedded the tissue, they only embedded the blood clot and not the white “bump” that I squeezed out.
