CHIEF COMPLAINT:  new growth under the right arm

CLINICAL HISTORY: A 36-year-old Caucasian male presented to the clinic with complaints of a new growth under the right arm that had been present for approximately 2 months and had progressively increased in size. He noted tenderness surrounding the lesion but aside from this, the lesion was asymptomatic. Review of systems was negative for any associated fevers, weight loss, night sweats, chest pain, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal discomfort, rash or edema. The patient had not received any previous treatment, as this was his initial presentation. He was, however, prescribed doxycycline due to concern for possible localized cellulitis. His past medical history was significant for hypertension, which was well controlled with Losartan. He denied any pertinent family history.
