DERMATOLOGY DIGEST

$Slight rash develops into a refractory lesion$

Slight rash develops into a refractory lesion

Joe R. Monroe, PA-C, MPAS

Constant itching and frequent scratching of a slight rash lead to a recalcitrant depigmented lesion that defies diagnosis.

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING REVIEW

Imaging and biopsy hold the key to knee pain diagnosis

Julie Vajnar, PA-C, RT

The patient's complaints suggested injury to the meniscus, but radiography, MRI, and biopsy revealed a different cause.

CASE OF THE MONTH

Heartburn and abdominal pain in a patient with a history of reflux disease

Corri Wolf, PA-C, MS, RD

Recurring symptoms prompt an important and potentially lifesaving evaluation when a patient runs out of medication.
