Whew! Just excised the largest skin nodule I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure it's a superficial hemangioma, but we'll see what pathology has to say.

Thing was huge! Looked like a very large marble. It would barely fit into the specimen container.

It was large enough that I thought it had developed its own arterial system. I kept a hemostat clamped to the base of it while I sliced it off, just in case. When I loosened the hemostat, no arterial spurt. Good news.

That was a nail-biter!

Can't wait to see the biopsy report!
