Dear Dr Smith,
Re: John Doe
File: JD/NS/2024/001
Thank you for the referral of John Doe.
I saw John Doe on the 30 October 2024.
John Doe presented with progressive weakness in his left arm and leg for the past three months, accompanied by intermittent numbness and tingling. He reports difficulty with fine motor skills and has experienced several falls recently. Aggravating factors include prolonged standing or walking. He has tried over-the-counter pain relievers (paracetamol) with no significant relief.
Medical conditions include:
Essential Hypertension [I10]
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [E11.9]
Medication used:
Lisinopril 10mg once daily
Metformin 500mg twice daily
Social history:
Smoking: Denies current smoking, quit 5 years ago. [Z87.891]
Alcohol: Social drinker, 1-2 units per week. [Z72.89]
Allergies:
Penicillin [T42.0X5A]
Clinical examination performed on 30 October 2024 showed mild left-sided hemiparesis, particularly affecting the intrinsic hand muscles and tibialis anterior. Left ankle clonus was present. Sensory examination revealed diminished sensation to light touch and pinprick in the left upper and lower extremities. Deep tendon reflexes were brisk on the left side (2+ right, 3+ left). Plantar reflex was extensor on the left (Babinski sign).
Radiological investigations performed included:
MRI Brain and Cervical Spine (29 October 2024): Revealed a 2.5 cm enhancing lesion in the right precentral gyrus, suggestive of a glioblastoma. There was surrounding oedema causing mild mass effect. Cervical spine MRI was unremarkable.
The diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme (Right Precentral Gyrus) [C71.0] was made, and the following treatment options were discussed:
1. Surgical resection of the tumour.
2. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy (Temozolomide).
3. Palliative care options.
The decision was made to:
Proceed with surgical resection of the right precentral gyrus lesion, followed by a discussion with the oncology team regarding adjuvant therapy. Patient consent for surgery was obtained.
If you have any enquiries, please feel free to contact us.
Once again, thank you for the referral.
Kind regards,
Dr. Thomas Kelly
