flat lesion under .5 cm
macule
flat lesion over .5 cm
patch
small elevated lesion
papule
solid lesion larger than .5 cm
nodule
small blister
vesicle
large blister
bullae
large elevated flat topped area
plaque
epidermal hyperplasia
acanthosis
retention of nuclei in stratum corneum
parakaratosis
loss of cellular connections
acantholysis
increased intercellular edema
spongiosis
effect of sun exposure on melanocytes
increases number
cell type: basal layer, small halo
melanocytes
differences between nevis and melanoma
melanoma: multicolored, larger, irregular borders, asymmetrical, andy “change”
“pagetoid spread”
melanoma
focal melanocyte hyperplasia
lentigo
gives a near 100% chance of melanoma
dysplastic nevi syndrome
most important prognostic indicators (2)of melanoma
sentinal lymph node and depth of invasion
def: eburnation
polished bone
eburantion found in
OA
distal joint involved in which arthritis
OA
osteophytes found in:
OA
morning pain in which arthritis
RA
HLA-DR4 associated with
RA
HLA B27 diagnostic for
ankylosing spondy
joints fused in ankylosing spondy
veterbrae, sacro-iliac
conjunctivitis, urethritis, peripherial arthritis and skin pustles
reiter’s syndrome
bad prognosis in psoriatic arthritis
HLA B27
dislocation, DIP joints involved, possible bone collapse for bone resorbtion
psoriatic arthritis
major bugs in septic arthritis
staph A, N gonorrhea, TB
crystal in actual gout
urate salts (needle shaped)
crystal type and shape in pseudogout
calcium pyrophosphate, rhomboid
major clinical diff between gout and pseudogout
gout is usually big toe, pseudogout can be any
mutation in achondroplasia
FGFR3
lethal homozygosity
achondroplasia
effect of FGFR3 mutation in achrondroplasia
constantly activated, which inhibits chondroblasts, leading to decreased long bone growth
collagen defect in ostogenesis imperfecta
type I
blue schlera found in
OI
deficiency in carbonic anydrase II
osteopetrosis
bone is thickened but weak
osteopetrosis
test for osteoperosis
DEXA scan
fractures found in osteoperosis
verterbra and femoral neck
increased bone remodeling in older people
Paget’s disease
chalk stick fracture, deafness, increased hat size
Paget’s disease
Paget’s disease has a risk of
osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor of bone
fancy term for rickets
osteomalacia
signs of rickets in kids
bowed legs and rib nodules
brown tumor in lungs a sign of
parathyroidism
