                           M                 N         S
 MALIGNANT  NONSPECIFIC SPECIFIC    



 CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION:     

               
CALLOUS ULCER           
              
SPREADING ULCER

NON -HEALING ULCER

HEALING ULCER 

PATHOLOGICAL  CLASSIFICATION:


A)MALIGNANT ULCER:


MELANOTIC ULCER

CARCINOMATOUS ULCER
RODENT ULCER 

B) NON -SPECIFIC ULCER

ARTERIAL ULCER

BAZIN ULCER

CRYOPATHIC ULCER

DIABETIC ULCER

TRAUMATIC ULCER

INFECTIVE ULCER

CORTISOL ULCER

VENOUS ULCER 

C) SPECIFIC ULCER

TUBERCULOUS ULCER

SYPHILITIC ULCER

ACTINOMYCOSIS

MELENEY ULCER




SEQUENTIAL MNEMONIC :

Cleopatra Sprinted on National Highway to reach Metric  National School to write MCR test,she TICked V instead  of ABCD as Commanded by Topper SAM.


If you can remember this sequence of event that happened then definitely you write the classification of ulcer.YES, i know its quite a long sequence to remember in sentence then here comes the visual mnemonic if you can capture all these images it would help you to remember this sequence.

VISUAL MNEMONIC:

TO REMEMBER CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION:


Callous ulcer
NH- Non-Healing ulcer
Spreading ulcer 




TO REMEMBER PATHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF ULCER :

 M       N          S       -     MALIGNANT ,NONSPECIFIC,SPECIFIC 



UNDER MALIGNANT ULCER -:

Melanotic ulcer
Carcinomatous ulcer
Rodent ulcer 
  •  MCR can be remembered as brand name or even macrons.

NON-SPECIFIC ULCER:

Arterial ulcer
Bazin ulcer
Cryopathic ulcer
Diabetic ulcer
Traumatic ulcer
Infective ulcer
Cortisol ulcer
Venous ulcer 
  • ABCD TIC V 

SPECIFIC ULCER:

Tuberculous ulcer
Syphilitic ulcer
Actinomycosis
Meleney ulcer

  • Topper Sam

GENERAL TALK:

Today we have seen definition of ulcer,parts to make it unforgettable I have created a sequential mnemonic as well as visual mnemonic ,I have put in so much time and effort to make it simple if you like it and it helped you do let me know in the comment section below.
stencildent is celebrating this week as #classification week
Today being day 5 we have discussed about ulcer this topic was suggested by our very own stencildent family member Nathashri to suggest us topics do get connected through instagram as well.
