Don't feel the best right now. My entire back, neck, head, and shoulders are all aching and the ibuprofen only took the edge off. Thankfully I only felt fuzzy at work, which somewhat sucked because I only had three patients today......slow..........
This was the most amusing thing to me all day. You won't understand it, but that's exactly why it's so funny:
Microscopic description:
Microscopic examination reveal sections of mucosa surfaced by markedly hyperortho and hyperparakeratotic stratified squamous epithelium that exhibit abrupt change at the areas of orthokeratosis showing a prominent granular cell layer while the areas of parakeratosis show variable granular cell layer. There is minimal rete peg formation. The basal layer of epithelial cells shows hyperplasia with prominent nuclear hyperchromatism and alteration of the nuclear cytoplasmic ratio and mild nulcear pleomorphism. The lamina propria contains moderate, chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate consisting predominantly of lymphocytes and scattered brown pigment suggestive of hemosiderin deposition. In the deeper portions of the specimen, there are small blood vessels and nerves with focal perivascular hyalinization.
Diagnosis:
Hard palate: Hyperkeratosis, chronic mucositis and mild epithelial dysplasia.
Yeah....this load of crap (erhm...I mean job security....) means that this person has and area on their hard palate that has thick, abnormal, but non-threatening tissue....that's inflamed. I couldn't stop laughing after I read this. The funny thing is that I understood it......whoa. Now THIS is part of what I went to school for!
I'm going to bed....................
