Transcript of dermatofibroma
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
Dermatofibroma is a common cutaneous nodule of unknown etiology that occurs more often in women. Dermatofibroma frequently develops on the extremities (mostly the lower legs) and is usually asymptomatic, although pruritus and tenderness are not uncommon. The latter feature is seen in a sufficient number of patients to make dermatofibroma the most prevalent of all painful skin tumors. A number of well-described, histologic subtypes of dermatofibroma have been reported. Removal of the tumor is not necessary unless diagnostic uncertainty exists or particularly troubling symptoms are present. Excisional biopsy is the recommended method of treatment. Skin grafting is a type of graft surgery involving the transplantation of skin. The transplanted tissue is called a skin graft. Skin grafting is often used to treat extensive wounding or trauma, burns, areas of extensive skin loss due to infection such as necrotizing fasciitis or purpura fulminans. Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur - most commonly removal of skin cancers. Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some of the body's skin is damaged. Surgical removal (excision or debridement) of the damaged skin is followed by skin grafting. The grafting serves two purposes: reduce the course of treatment needed (and time in the hospital), and improve the function and appearance of the area of the body which receives the skin graft.
A. RATIONALE FOR CHOOSING THE CASE
All over the world, dermatofibromas incidence is probably similar to United States which is relatively common. Its frequency appears to be similar in all races. Females are the more commonly affected than males having male to female ratio of 1:4. It occurs in patients of any age, but it usually develops in young adulthood. Approximately 20% of the lesions occur before age 17 years. We have chosen this case, Dermatofibroma because its our first time to handle such case. We were curious and interested on how it was developed from being a simple mole to a tumor that can turn to a cancerous one. Also, observing its surgical procedure which is skin grafting, give us cues and knowledge about its method of treatment.
B. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
General Objectives The main goal of our group is to be able to state and present the case study of our chosen client that would provide a clear discussion of the pathological mechanism of the disease to gain significant knowledge, skills and attitude in caring for the patient post operatively who has Dermatofibroma. Specific Objectives Cognitive To describe Dermatofibroma as a health problem. To identify risk factors for Dermatofibroma To identify the possible nursing problems of patient post operatively with Dermatofibroma To know, analyze and understand the pathophysiology of Dermatofibroma Psychomotor To establish rapport with the patient and significant others To assess the patient who had removal of Dermatofibroma To use nursing process as a framework for care post operatively To make a patient centered and comprehensive nursing care plan To impart health teachings to the patient and significant others To evaluate the effectiveness of nursing care rendered to patient Behavioral To respect clients beliefs and practices To sympathize the client with her current condition.

B. CHIEF COMPLAINT The patient was admitted at New Oriental Mindoro Provincial Hospital with chief complaint of right shoulder mass. C. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS The client is a 44 year old housewife who has a right shoulder mass which has a gradual swelling. Since April 2010, the mass in the patients shoulder starts to enlarge in size. The mass begun from a simple mole which has irregular border and dark black appearance.
