Question

A 55-year-old woman presents with the skin of her armpits and groin 'getting darker and darker'. Physical examination demonstrates velvety-brown and warty skin in the axilla and groin. Biopsy of these lesions shows a variable hyperplastic epidermis with many sharp peaks and valleys.Question:Aside from cosmetic considerations, what primary medical significance do these lesions signify?

Answer 1

A sign of visceral carcinoma

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of injury can be a warning for cells that have viceral carcinoma. This means that this woman may have developed cancer in the vital organs that are organs that are contained in the cavities of the human body, such as the digestive system, the lungs and others.

As with any carcinoma, the earlier the diagnosis is made, the more positive the response to treatment. The treatment is based on chemotherapy, which attacks and minimizes cancer cells. In some cases, following medical re-evaluation, surgical procedures aiming to remove residual lesions and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are chosen.
