Help please! S/L "grow-FEAR-ee-uh tat-AWN-uh" (sm)
Subject: Help please! S/L "grow-FEAR-ee-uh tat-AWN-uh" (sm)

Exact context is:  "The patient also had a multitude of other surgeries, which he totals over 100, relating to Agent Orange exposure and chronic ***  gropheria tatana ***, which has led to benign lipoma growth in a multitude of areas in his body, including his chest wall and abdomen."


The doc himself spells out "tatana".  I cannot find any reference to anything that seems close.  I have found porphyria cutanea tarda, which seems like the best bet, but it doesn't sound that close to what he actually said and spelled.  What would you do? Just flag it?  I hate blanks in my reports...  You know we get blamed for them even if the doctor spells something for us incorrectly. 


Any ideas?
