EP051 - Queensland Family Skin Lesions_ Diagnosis and Management

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills.

This episode presents a medical case study focusing on a Queensland farmer concerned about multiple skin lesions within his family, particularly given a history of skin cancer awareness. The primary purpose is to evaluate various skin lesions shown in photographs from six family members, requiring a medical professional to identify which lesions are benign versus malignant or suspicious of malignancy. The case also asks for advice on which family members require the most urgent treatment and to describe how any malignant lesions might spread. Ultimately, it serves as a training exercise for diagnosing diverse dermatological conditions and prioritising medical intervention.
