Skin color changes

[edit]

Hey, Eboch9, I'm hoping you can help me out. The medical journal article says "Although the majority of patients with CSH present clinically with an asymptomatic mass or swelling, often associated with a yellow or tan hue, there are exceptions." Are you saying that never happens, and nobody with CSH ever has discolored skin? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are describing the color of the actual tumor once it has been removed and is sent to pathology. Eboch9 (talk) 01:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The 51 year old female was actually me back in 2010. This entire article fails to give Dr. Robert Arceci of Johns Hopkins & Dr. Jack Shocker of UPMC (f/k/a Altoona Hospital) for the treatment they gave regarding my crystal storing histiocytosis. These articles are just a combination of reports and interpretation of a cancer they will never see a patient in their lifetime. Nor diagnose a patient with the extremely rare cancer. I have lived the longest out of all others diagnosed with this cancer. But of course they refer to me as “unknown” if I’m alive or not when publishing another form of the article.

@Eboch9, I can see how that mistake would be made, and I'm glad you're trying to correct it. It sounds like the correct sentence would say something like "Sometimes the tumor will have a yellow or tan colouring upon biopsy.[1]" Is that right? (Also, it sounds like it ought to be in the ==Diagnosis== section or maybe the ==Pathology== section (but definitely not ==Symptoms==). WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:14, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
