lesions which may be "red herring" - hb
Posted: Jul 18, 2010
The doc says, "The ultrasound of the liver shows some lesions which may be s/l red herring" Is this what it is and is this how it should be spelled?
It's a "real world" term - Oracle

A red herring is something of a feint; it leads you looking in a direction different from the one you should be looking in...so it would be lesions that don't have anything to do with the patient's current problem.
Patient had pelvic ultrasound done which showed some liver lesions. She then had a CT scan done that confirmed the lesions. They were heterogeneously enhancing, not felt to be consistent with hemangiomas. Differential diagnosis include adenomas or S/L ZEPH/EN/H ??.
sef/en/h I clearly just hear "H" at the end so maybe a word dash H ?? ...
The person I work for told me I made an error in grammar and that it should read:
"There are no erythema or satellite lesions." I do not see any way this could be correct.
I think it should probably say "There is no erythema, and there are no satellite lesions." Any comments? ...
