need plastic surgery (skin lesion) word help, please - Back at it


Posted: May 20, 2010

I have recently started back to work and am having difficulty with a word and would love help.  This is regarding a lesion on a nose:   

It is somewhat irregular in appearance and very well could represent a malignancy, especially given its rapid growth history.  However, this may also represent a _____________ acanthoma   (blank appears to begin with an N or possibly an M)

 

Thanks a million for any and all help!  Cool

Acanthosis nigricans maybe? - Just a guess
