A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps:
- General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; further:
- Inspection (viewing) of the skin and mucous membranes [Bowen’s disease: flat, sharply demarcated skin lesions; limited, easily injured; sometimes keratotic (scaly) skin lesions. Bowen’s disease can generally occur all over the body, but occurs preferentially on the trunk, extremities, and face].
- Inspection of the genitals and anus [erythroplasia queyrate: relatively sharply demarcated bright redness of the glans (glans) and prepuce (prepuce) (or anus, vagina, mouth) with fine granulation; easily vulnerable; slow progression in size; sometimes pruritus (itching)]
- Health check (as an additional follow-up measure).
Square brackets [ ] indicate possible pathological (pathological) physical findings.
