OBJECTIVES
For each disease included in each diagnostic category be able to:
· Name the lesion
· Name synonym(s) for each lesion including alternative naming schemes that may have historical importance (thus facilitating communication among clinicians)
· Discuss the etiology
· Identify one or more images of a typical lesion and describe the clinical features emphasizing those of greatest diagnostic value (the most common clinical manifestations, as well as clinical variations)
· Utilize clinical information, including symptoms and epidemiologic data
· Provide differential diagnosis
· List appropriate diagnostic steps
· Recommend treatment
· Provide follow-up, if appropriate
· Discuss the clinical significance (eg, could the lesion indicate the presence of a serious systemic disease, be potentially life-threatening, or represent a hazard to the clinician?)
