Post-traumatic Subcutaneous Hematoma
November 9th 2012This large bruise developed after the patient had an accident in her yard. Post-traumatic subcutaneous hematomas are common in elderly women, especially those who are anticoagulated. Untreated, the hematoma can eventuate into an abscess and even sepsis.
Malignant Melanoma on a Patient’s Back
October 23rd 2012The only impressive thing about this lesion was a “notch” in its superior pole, and some mild pigment heterogeneity. Prudent caution proved extremely beneficial.

Bullous Pemphigoid: An Autoimmune Blistering Disorder
August 31st 2012In older persons, tense blisters such as these are most likely bullous pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disease. Biopsy as well as direct and indirect immunofluorescent tests may be needed to exclude other blistering diseases, such as pemphigus and epidermolysis bullosa.
