What is a thymine dimer?

Is a DNA lesion caused by UV light irradiation. When DNA strand is exposed to UV light, adjacent pyrimidine residues on a DNA strand can become covalently linked. Such pyrimidine dimers cannot fit into a double helix, and so replication and gene expression are blocked until the lesion is removed. This kind of lesions are common and therefore DNA is continually being repaired by specific enzymes that make the job.


What is a lesion containing homogeneous?

A lesion containing homogeneous means that the tissue within the lesion has a consistent appearance throughout, without variations in texture, density, or enhancement. This can be seen on imaging studies like MRI or CT scans where the lesion appears uniform in its makeup. It suggests a more uniform composition or structure within the lesion.


What is the ICD-9 code for a throat lesion?

What is hyperemic heterogeneous lesion?

A hyperemic heterogeneous lesion refers to an area of tissue that appears red ("hyperemic") and has varying consistency or composition ("heterogeneous") on imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. This type of lesion can be caused by a variety of factors including inflammation, infection, or tumor growth. Further evaluation and testing are usually needed to determine the underlying cause of the lesion.


Is surgery recommended for follicular lesion of undetermined significance?

Surgery is not always recommended for follicular lesion of undetermined significance. Often, a repeat fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy or close monitoring with periodic follow-up is recommended to assess if the lesion changes over time. Surgery may be considered if the lesion is suspicious for cancer or if it grows in size on follow-up imaging.

It all depends on what the lesion is made of and where it is on the spine. A benign lesion is non-cancerous whereas a malignant lesion is cancerous.Lesions can be defined according to the patterns they form. Lesions can also be categorized by their size. A gross lesion is one that can be seen with the naked eye. A microscopic or histologic lesion requires the magnification of a microscope to be seen.
