Were you able to identify the bump from this photo?
I posted the quiz to make a point; thank you all for helping me make it. With the photo of a bump, there were seven possibilities one of which was the correct one.
Congratulations, except those who said they didn't know, you were all wrong.
Here is what your answers were:
| Fat tumor/lipoma | 13.33% |
| Sebaceous cyst | 33.33% |
| Mast cell tumor | 0.00% |
| Skin tag | 13.33% |
| Wart | 13.33% |
| Histiocytoma | 13.33% |
| Other | 13.33% |
Answers under other included different versions of "I don't know."
Regardless of what the tumor has been actually identified as, "I don't know" is the only correct answer to this question.
Nobody, not even an oncologist can identify a bump by looking at it.
The proof is in the pudding. Well, in the cells. The tumor on a photo has been properly identified with a fine needle aspirate and it is a mast cell tumor.
