You are working in a clinic at a local university when Samantha Jones arrives for a physical assessment. During the interview portion of the exam, she mentions she has a “freckle” that seems to be getting bigger and is starting to worry her. What other questions would you ask Samantha about this freckle and her lifestyle habits that would be important when performing your assessment? During your assessment, what would you be looking for in regards to Samantha’s freckle? What abnormal findings would be concerning? The biopsy confirms that this freckle is actually a carcinoma. Choose one type of skin carcinoma (basal cell, squamous cell, or malignant melanoma) and explain the treatment that Samantha would experience.
