🐾 Meet Molly! 🐾
Molly is a sweet 6-year-old girl who came to see us to have a mass removed from her leg. Dr. Long successfully removed the mass, and Molly is now recovering comfortably. ❤️
The mass has been submitted for histopathology, which is an important step whenever a mass is removed. While some masses may look benign based on their appearance or location, we cannot determine exactly what a mass is simply by looking at it. Histopathology allows a pathologist to examine the cells and tissue under a microscope to determine what type of mass it is, whether it is benign or malignant, and whether it was completely removed.
This information helps us determine whether Molly needs any additional treatment or monitoring moving forward.
Please join us in wishing Molly a speedy recovery!
Great job, Molly! 💕
