What to expect at your appointment
History and physical exam
We perform a full skin exam and review your medical history and outside records, including:
- Performing a lung, heart, abdomen, and lymph node exam if necessary
- Reviewing prior blood tests
- Reviewing radiologic studies and skin biopsies
Biopsy
If we suspect a cutaneous lymphoma, we may remove a small skin sample (biopsy) from the affected area for analysis. Cutaneous lymphomas may need many biopsies overtime for a definitive diagnosis.
Blood test and imaging
We may order more blood work or radiologic imaging to rule out systemic involvement.
Based on your history, physical exam, and lab results we create a personalized treatment plan. Your treatment addresses your manifestations of the disease, severity, and health.
