Continuous cutaneous clinical manifestations are known as immunological alarms that are visible in a manner that does not occur, including in serious clinical scenarios.

These are the demonstrations in the field of a patient patient precisely suggesting a malignant scenario related to cancer, except for the surprise of the medical team, the result was not the hope.

This time he was treated by an adult male mayor of 71 years who arrived at the salas of Emergency Hospital San Lucas, with apparent colon cancer colon that resulted in a mass of origin in hope, says doctor Patricia Mulero Soto, resident of General Surgery at San Lucas Hospital.

“The patient is ill with abdominal pain, at the same time as the patient is undergoing the procedure for a possible colon cancer, when we are taking a physical exam, present a cut lesion that you have personally studied in pathology and is religiously related” Explained.

“When the patient goes to the operating room, we make the reception of what appears to be a colon cancer. The patient has been suffering from high blood pressure for some time now and has undergone a lot of inflammation. When we intervene, all indications are that the cancer has already lost weight, abdominal pain and lesions in the skin that have been abruptly unfolded, but the mass we have encountered in the operating room ”, overflowed.

The medicines used to treat the mass of a carcinoma, but for the sake of surprise, treat a mass that has been converted into a granuloma.

In medicine, a granuloma is a mass of spheres of immune cells that is formed when the immunological system intends to extract extracts that it is unable to eliminate.

“When we see the pathology we create that is a carcinoma, we validate that it is an extra object that we do not know is a particle that the patient ingests that he has converted to a granuloma and appears to be the same as the origin of the herpes in the piel ”, the doctor confirmed.

“The rarity of the case is that only in the literature has the development of cutaneous affections with a mass of granules recorded and that these conditions in the skin alone are characteristic of cancer. This is how it manifests itself in the first instance of an inflamed response if there is a mass like this, ”he said.

Finally, the Doctor will be able to suggest in this case the realization of more advanced studies to know the depth of the relationship between granules and manifestations in the skin.

This case may be the first of its kind presented in the United States and Puerto Rico.
