Question 5
M. T. is a 71-year-old female who presents for evaluation of a ―lump on her

ecchymosis, or open areas—it is just a lump. She has no idea how long it has been
there and just noticed it a few weeks ago. Physical examination reveals a round,
smooth, flesh-colored tumor. It is firm but not hard; it has smooth borders. It
measures 6 cm in diameter and is non-tender to palpation. The AGACNP suspects
