Extensive Definition
distinguish presenter
In medicine, the term presenting means not only
present, but seen. For example, at birth most babies present head
first and their presenting part is their head. Often, this term
refers to when a condition is first noticed by a physician or first
brought to a physician's attention. A presenting condition may be
one that causes the patient to consult a physician. For example,
someone with advanced cancer may present with certain
non-specific symptoms such as pain or unexplained loss of
weight.
