VON RECKLINGHAUSENS DISEASE


I was watching NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC  featuring mine clearing in Vietnam. This reminded me how tedious it is to remove underground mines planted by US forces and communist guerrillas in the fields of Vietnam. They have to pick them one by one.
Same with these skin tumors. I have to clean them one by one, infiltrate anesthesia, excise and suture. These take hours and I would prefer to do abdominal laparotomy than to hand pick these tumors one by one.
