Procedure: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in the
supine position. With appropriate monitoring, she was induced with general
anesthesia without complication. She was then turned on her side and the area
was painted with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion. An elliptical incision
was made encompassing some of the hairs over the mass and then
electrocautery was used to dissect around the mass. The mass was excised and
sent in its entirety to pathology for evaluation. 3-0 Vicryl was used to
reapproximate the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 Vicryl was used to
reapproximate the skin in a subcuticular manner. Steri-strips and a dry sterile
dressing were applied.
