Benito Jaramillo is a 41-year-old Hispanic male in excellent health. He presents to the Primary Care Clinic today because of a mole his partner noticed on his back. You perform the following assessment: Onset: When you asked Benito about any problems with his skin, he tells you he has never really noticed any problems with his skin, but his partner Greg has been telling him he should get this growth on his back checked out.

Duration: You asked him how long he has had the growth, and he tells you he has had it for about six months, but Greg told him it has been getting larger in the past couple of months. Characteristics: You asked Benito if it itches or bothers him in any way and he tells you no, but it has been oozing a little bit of fluid he noticed on his t-shirt. You asked him what the mole looks like, and Benito tells you it is a dark color and oddly shaped. He has had a hard time looking at it very well in a mirror because of where it is located. Aggravating or alleviating factors: None.

Other background information:

Benito is a competitive triathlete, often spending many hours a day training outside. He does not wear sunscreen because he believes his dark skin protects him from the sun. He also vacations often with his partner Greg, and they go to places like Hawaii for windsurfing and relaxing on the beach.

You perform the following assessment: Skin: You first examine the lesion following the established guidelines of A, B, C, D, E: A-Asymmetrical Shape: You observe ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍the lesion is not round and is irregular in shape. B-Irregular Border: You observe there is no clear border and, in fact, the lesion has several notched areas. C-Changes in Color: You observe the lesion is red on half and purplish black on the other half. D-Diameter: You measure the lesion and find it is 8 mm at its largest diameter. E-Evolving: Benito confirms it has been getting larger over the last several months.
