Skin Câncer? Whats the type?
This is a curious case that I would like to share with you.
A 47-year-old female patient had a prominent spot on her abdomen. She sought out a dermatologist who recommended cauterizing the lesion. She cauterized two years ago.
The lesion started to grow and in the last month this growth was accelerated. Today the lesion bleeds spontaneously.
What would it be? A squamous cell carcinoma? Would that black spot on the edge be suggestive of melanoma? What do you guys think?
