Which
possible scars are particularly found when examining a patient with
hemochromatosis?
Here is the answer:
In
the abdomen you may find a scar for surgical resection of
hepatocellular carcinoma which is rooftop or Mercedes-Benz sign shaped.
You
may notice a small scar in the right mid-axillary line at the level
of xiphisternum indicating liver biopsy.
Since
degenerative joint disease may badly affect synovial joints, a scar
over the knee may indicate knee replacement.
In
addition, the scar of venesection is usually evident.
