A Non-Healing Lesion on the Anterior Chest of a Patient Receiving Hemodialysis: A Case Study.25/7/2022 Authors: Wynne, Matthew David; Shah, Manu
Source: Nephrology Nursing Journal (NEPHROL NURS J), May/Jun2022; 49(3): 277-278. (3p) Abstract: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, and patients receiving hemodialysis are at increased risk of developing them. This article describes a case of a patient with a basal cell carcinoma in which the diagnosis was delayed due to the lesion masquerading as granulation tissue at the site of a previous tunnelled hemodialysis catheter. Early detection of basal cell carcinomas is important because delayed detection increases the risk of local invasion and the requirement for more complex surgical management. Request this article
