HELP!! Foyato Carcinoma? - Marytripletmommy

Posted: Jul 12, 2010

Dictation starts off as:

DISCHARGE SUMMARY

PROBLEM LIST

1. Metastatic ovarian cancer with ascites.

2. Gait disturbance.

3. Status-post thyroidectomy.

The fourth one is the one I can not understand. It is extremely jumbled and sounds like he is saying foyatoo carcinoma. I am so completely stumped. Any suggestions???

Carcinoma - JMO

3. Status post thyroidectomy for follicular carcinoma.
