More Pathology

I have seen a couple more masses in the chest that are cancerous per the MD, I saw a very large cyst ( I think it was roughly 7x7cm) on a patients kidney the other day also.
It's been a very productive semester, I've learned a lot.

Finally!!! Pathology

Yesterday I finally saw a pathology after all these weeks. It was on an older woman who was complaining of SOB and was in for a chest xray, the xray tech showed the films to the radiologist because she had a huge area in her upper left lung that looked like a mass. The radiologist called over to see if we could do a scan on her while she was here so we did. She had a CT of the chest with IV contrast, she had a huge mass like I said in the left lung that enhanced after injection. The radiologist believes that this mass more than likely is cancerous.

I like my clinical's and am learning a lot and on ideal patients all walking and talking (out patient center) the only drawback is I definitely do not see a lot of pathology.
