Well, I was reminiscing. The first cyst I ever removed was on a thirty-something year old woman's cheek. She was a military dependent (serviceman's wife) and I was in training doing my dermatology rotation (clinicals). The cyst was about the size of a dime. I was able to anesthetize the area and incise the skin without puncturing the underlying sac. I performed a curettage to separate the sac from the surrounding tissue and removed it intact. After irrigating, I did a good proximation of the edges and sutured them together. The patient was satisfied with the results. But that's me.
Griff is just a sick pup.
