Adult Dermatomyositis with Bleeding Ulcer in the Pharynx
Figure 3
Intraoperative macroscopic findings of the left lateral and posterior walls of the oropharynx. Note that the left sides of the figures indicate the lateral side, lower cranial, since these photographs are taken through oral specula for tonsillectomy. (a) Inset shows the ulcerated area. Arrow indicates the uvula. (b) An enlarged view of the ulcer. The coagulated material and necrotic tissue are removed. No pus or tumorous lesions are noted.
