Overweight female dogs are especially prone to developing these tumors, and most older or overweight dogs have at least one lipoma. [46] [47] In dogs, lipomas usually occur in the trunk or upper limbs. [45] They are also found less commonly in cattle and horses, and rarely in cats and pigs.
Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules. [3] The evaluation of a skin nodule includes a description of its appearance, its location, how it feels to touch and any associated symptoms which may give clues to an underlying medical condition. [4] Nodules in skin include dermatofibroma [5] and pyogenic granuloma. [6]
Lipedema is classified by stage: Stage 1: Normal skin surface with enlarged hypodermis (lipedema fat). Stage 2: Uneven skin with indentations in fat and larger hypodermal masses (lipomas). Stage 3: Bulky extrusions of skin and fat cause large deformations especially on the thighs and around the knees.
They present as multiple small or large bumps characteristically on the heels and wrists. [2] Most are asymptomatic and pain is rare, although some may present with pain before the bumps are noticed. [3] They generally occur bilaterally and display a yellowish to skin-color. [3] They may feel soft or firm. [3] [4]
Common. Dull or lackluster surface, and with church-spire-like projections of epidermal cells around collagen seen histologically. [2] [3] Stucco keratoses are often light brown to off-white, and are no larger than a few millimeters in diameter. They are often found on the distal tibia, ankle, and foot. [14] Clonal seborrheic keratosis
Bumps, lumps, or protrusions (also called knobs) on the skin begin to appear. Stage 5: The affected limb(s) become grossly large; one or more deep skin folds is present. Stage 6: Knobs of small elongated or rounded sizes cluster together, giving mossy-like shapes on the limb. Mobility of the patient becomes increasingly impaired.
The most common knee problems are: soft tissue inflammation, injury, or osteoarthritis. The mechanism of the knee injury can give a clue of the possible structures that can be injured. For example, applying valgus stress on the knee can cause medial collateral ligament rupture, meanwhile a varus force can cause lateral collateral ligament rupture
A review of systems (ROS), also called a systems enquiry or systems review, is a technique used by healthcare providers for eliciting a medical history from a patient. It is often structured as a component of an admission note covering the organ systems, with a focus upon the subjective symptoms perceived by the patient (as opposed to the objective signs perceived by the clinician).
