Glad you found it. Brings back memories. Do NOT miss my old derm. dictator. sm

Subject: Glad you found it. Brings back memories. Do NOT miss my old derm. dictator. sm

Because of words like the one you were looking for, and because it seems like she needed a minimum of 10 adjectives to describe every single speck on the skin - "Pt has a small, reddish-brown, raised, oval-shaped, 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm (etc., etc.) spot on the upper left arm..."    (Don't mean to be insensitive to the patients.  Just don't miss it is all I'm saying!)

Anyone know for sure?  I found what I thought were a couple of good sites that spelled it mat, but my derm doc just dictated it and spelled matte, so I am not sure.  Thanks!

SKIN:  Lots of seborrheic keratoses.  He does have an elevated 9 mm papule on left side of the face, which has some vascularization and central core.  It almost looks like acanthokeratosis, but basal cell carcinoma cannot be fully ruled out.  No other suspicious lesions.  He does have some miliary rubra on the back.

Subject: HELP WITH DERM TERMS!

I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.


Assessment:  Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen.  (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:


s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:


On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 


I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"

Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...

Glad you posted the correct answer.
