How close are we to death?
A lot of people don't even think about it
24-year-old boy Xiaohang (pseudonym)
I didn't expect anything
He had been quietly targeted by death
Thankfully
His social
and the Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine
An attentive doctor
Saved his life in time
What's going on?
A 24-year-old boy came to cut the cyst
Plastic surgeons tell him to cut a mole?
Xiaohang is 24 years old and has just graduated from college to work. Two years ago, Xiao Hang found that there was a small bag on his right back, he did not take it seriously at that time, as the small bag grew bigger and bigger, like an egg, Xiao Hang began to panic, went to the local hospital in Yuhang to check and confirmed the epidermoid cyst, saying that there was no big problem.
"But I recommend cutting it off." The local doctor in Yuhang suggested that Xiaohang remove the cyst, after all, the longer the cyst grows and becomes larger, it will definitely cause inconvenience to life. Xiao Hang wanted to cut it "beautifully" since he wanted to be removed, so he walked into the plastic surgery clinic of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University.
"Doctor, what are you doing most of the time?" Since the resection operation is local anesthesia, Xiao Hang, who has social, chatted with the plastic surgeon who removed the cyst for him, and when it came to cutting the mole, Xiao Hang joked that he had a mole on the sole of his foot and was a human being.
"Doctor, my grandmother said that the mole on the sole of my foot is a symbol of blessing." After Xiao Hang cut the cyst on his back, he enthusiastically showed Yu Yijia an incorruptible black mole on the sole of his left foot. Yu Yijia's attending physician carefully looked at this so-called blessed mole and felt that the mole was not good.
"I think you cut this mole by the way this time and do a pathology with the cyst on your back." Yu Yijia explained to Xiao Hang that although the mole on the sole of his foot was only the size of a sesame seed, it was irregular in shape and uneven in color, and there was a possibility of malignant melanoma.
Pathology comes out to confirm the diagnosis!
The guy was so frightened that he wanted to cut off the moles all over his body
"Epidermoid cyst (back); (left foot) melanocyte tumor." The so-called big rich and noble black mole on the sole plate of Xiao Hang's foot was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, referred to as malignant melanoma. This is a highly malignant skin tumor, because it is very similar in morphology to some skin moles, it is often treated as an ordinary mole and does not attract attention, resulting in many people who are already in the middle and advanced stages after diagnosis or have developed lymph node metastasis.
Fortunately, XiaoHang's malignant melanoma is in the stage of malignancy, and the distal end has not yet spread, and does not require radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. If Xiao Hang did not show Yu Yijia the attending physician his great wealth and great mole that day, then this sesame-sized "little devil" will continue to deteriorate and spread, and even lymph node metastasis may occur, knowing that its malignancy is "on the same level" as liver cancer and lung cancer.
"Doctor Yu, you can help me see what moles I have, and cut them off for me." Xiao Hang was frightened not lightly, and every day he looked in the mirror at home to find the moles on his body, and wanted to cut them all off for fear of leaving behind troubles.
"Not all black moles will change viciously, and only a few black moles will have the possibility of malignant changes under repeated friction and repeated stimulation." Yu Yijia's attending physician reassured that there are moles on the body that do not need to be fussed about, but also can not be left alone, usually pay more attention to their changes, how to pay attention to it? Study under the "ABCDE Method."
Do you want to cut a mole?
The "ABCDE Method" measures the degree of danger itself
Xu Jinghong, chief physician of the Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that what we usually call moles usually refers to pigmented nevi, which originates from melanocytes in the skin. Normally, the melanocytes in our body are evenly distributed in the skin. But when the number of melanocytes increases and they are grouped together, they become melanin nevi.
Some people may have few moles, some may have moles, and every mole manifests itself the same, but in many cases they are basically benign. In general, the mole will remain in its original state and even slowly fade away. Director Xu Jinghong introduced that there is a simple ABCDE principle to judge pigmented nevi, if there are the following conditions of black moles on your body, you need to pay attention to it, go to the hospital as soon as possible, once diagnosed with skin cancer, early treatment cure rate is higher, the effect is better.
A Asymmetry (asymmetric)
Divide the pigmented nevi in two, asymmetrical on both sides;
B Border
The boundaries of the mole become blurred and appear radially diffuse outward;
C Color
Multiple colors appear on the surface of the mole, including uneven pigmentation, darkening or fading of color;
D Diameter
Pigmented nevi generally greater than 6 mm is recommended for removal;
E Evolution (Progress)
Pigmented nevi has nodules or ulcerative hyperplasia.
