Meet Neeka, a brave 13-year-old patient🐾
Neeka visited us regarding an ulcerative lesion on her right forelimb. Following a skin biopsy and histopathology analysis, our team diagnosed a Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).
This type of malignant neoplasm originates in the keratinocytes and is frequently linked to chronic UV radiation exposure, commonly appearing in areas with sparse hair or less pigmentation.
While locally invasive, it fortunately carries a low potential for metastasis.
✨ The great news: Thanks to a timely intervention, the surgical resection was an absolute success. The pathology report confirmed that the specimen margins are completely free of neoplasia (clean 5.9 mm margins), ensuring a complete excision.
Neeka is now doing great and will continue under routine monitoring to ensure her long-term health.
Early detection makes all the difference for our senior patients. Precision medicine saves lives. 🩺❤️
