| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| papule | solid elevated lesion less than 1 cm in diameter that may be the same color as the skin or pigmented |
| nodule | palpable, circumscribed, larger and deeper than a papule, extends into the dermis |
| tumor | solid, elevated lesion larger than 2 cm, extends into the dermal and subcutaneous layers |
| wheal | elevated, firm, rounded lesion, with localized edema (swelling) accompanied by itching, paler in the center than its edges |
| vesicle | elevated, circumscribed, fluid-filled, less than 0.5 in diameter |
| pustule | small, raised, circumscribed, contains pus, usually less than 1 cm |
| bulla | vesicle of blister larger than 1 cm |
| first degree burns | superficial, least serious |
| sunburn | too much time in the sun |
| thermal burn | brief contact with dry or moist heat |
| erythema | redness of the skin |
| hyperesthesia | sensitivity |
| second degree | partial thickness, deep, damage the epidermis and part of the dermis |
| third degree | full thickness, epidermis and dermis destroyed, underlying connective tissue damaged, skin waxy and charred, insensitivity. |
| dermatoplasty | skin grafting |
| neoplasms | abnormal growths of new ise that are classified as benign or malignant |
| benign neoplasms | non-cancerous, composed of the same cells as the tissue they're growing in |
| malignant neoplasms | also called cancer, composed of cells that tend to become invasive |
| metastasis | moving to remote regions of the body |
| munotherapy / biotherapy | stimulates the body's own immune defenses against tumor cells |
| combined-modality treatment | combination of treatments |
| pathologists | specialize in diagnosing diseases by examining fluids |
| grading | bow closely the tissue resembles normal tissue |
| anaplasia | cells reverting back to their original state |
| TNM | tumor, node, metastasis system |
| T | size and invasiveness of the primary tumor |
| N | area lymph nodes involved |
| M | invasiveness of the primary tumor |
| Basal cell carcinoma | most common type of skin cancer, tumor in the hair follicles |
| keratinizing | skin undergoes pathological hardening |
| squamos cell carcinoma | epidermal cells |
| carcinogens | cancer causing agents |
| albinism | melanocytes don't produce melanin |
| actinic keratosis | premalignant lesions |
| malignant melanoma | malignant growth of the melanocytes |
| biopsy | examination of a sample |
| grade 1 | tumor cells well differentiated |
| grade 2 | tumor cells moderately or poorly differentiated |
| grade 3 | tumor cells poorly differentiated |
| grade 4 | tumor cells very poorly differentiated |
| Tx | primary tumor that cannot be ecaluated |
| T0 | no evidence of tumor |
| tis | stage 1 - no invasion |
| T1, T2, T3, T4 | stage 2, - 1 = minimal invasion, 4 = extensive invasion |
| NX | regional lymph nodes that cannot be evaluated |
| N0 | regional lymph nodes that show no abnormalities |
| N1-4 | stage 3 - degree of node spread, 1 = minimal involvement, 4 = extensive involvement |
| MX | distant metastasis that cannot be evaluated |
| M0 | no evidence of metastasis |
| M1 | stage 4 - presence of metastasis |
