is kidney hamartoma malignant?

Central South University Xiangya Hospital Liu Longfei, Pang: renal hamartoma is also called renal angiomyolipoma, as the name suggests, is composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle and adipose tissue tumor, is the most common benign tumor of the kidneys. Kidney Hamartoma is not kidney cancer, we should not worry too much. The etiology of renal hamartoma is not clear, is common in middle-aged women, the incidence rate between 0.2%~0.6%.

The vast majority of renal hamartoma patients have no obvious symptoms, accidentally found through a physical examination, some relatively large kidney hamartoma, the abdomen may touch the lump, the mass oppresses the duodenum, stomach and other organs and appear full feeling, constipation, abdominal pain and other discomfort. Some patients with blood vessels in the tumor rich, may appear rupture and bleeding, some patients are the occurrence of this dangerous situation, if the hemostasis is not timely will be life-threatening.

Abdominal B-ultrasound can be used for screening of renal hamartoma, and is simple, non-invasive and can be examined repeatedly. The diagnosis of renal hamartoma also requires abdominal CT examination to clarify the location, size and relationship of the tumor to the surrounding tissue. However, the lack of adipose tissue or very few renal hamartoma is difficult to be diagnosed by imaging methods, easy to confuse kidney cancer. At present, magnetic resonance imaging, preoperative biopsy or intraoperative rapid pathological biopsy can reduce the rate of misdiagnosis.

Therapeutic Recommendations: treatment options for renal hamartoma generally include hamartoma removal, nephrectomy, selective arterial embolism, ablation, etc.

Among them, the removal of renal hamartoma is the main treatment plan of renal hamartoma, which can remove the lesion of the patient more thoroughly and retain the function of normal renal tissue.

Hemangioma treatment should be early

chief physician of hemangioma Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital Dong Changxian: hemangioma is actually the common people often say the birthmark, although it is a benign tumor, for some can not subside, and long in the more prominent part of the Hemangioma, the earlier the treatment effect is better.

The timing of hemangioma treatment is also important. Although the earlier the treatment effect is better, but for many parents this time is difficult to grasp, so it is best to find that the child has hemangioma in time to seek medical attention. Most children do not show any performance at birth, and a few weeks after birth, parents will find hemangiomas and enter a period of rapid proliferation, generally lasting 3-6 months. Enter a stable period in the following months. Although most hemangioma will not have serious complications, but due to the growth of hemangioma in the growing period, thickening, resulting in difficulty in receding, long subside, and left-down insufficiency, local depression and other defects.

Treatment advice: for the discovery of significantly increased hemangioma, the earlier the treatment is better. Early and appropriate treatment can achieve a complete cure, and as beautiful as possible. For infants and young children hemangioma should be treated as early as possible according to the specific situation.

Breast fibroids rarely develop into breast cancer

Pan, deputy chief physician of Oncology, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Xiamen University, and: breast fiber adenoma is a benign tumor, so we don't have to be particularly panicked.

Typically, the doctor will make a preliminary diagnosis based on the patient's age of onset and the "first diagnosis" to see if the lump is single or multiple, the size of the lump, the texture, the boundary is clear, and so on. Finally, some auxiliary examination methods, such as mammography (molybdenum target), ultrasound, etc., sometimes require mammography, or puncture cytology.

Usually, mammary gland fibroma rarely develops into breast cancer, but there are catheter epithelial components in mammary gland fibroma, which of course has the potential to be malignant.Breast fibroma is generally due to endocrine imbalance glandular epithelium or fiber epithelium to estrogen excessive sensitivity caused, it is recommended that usually healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables and high-protein food, the law of life, pay attention to physical examination, early diagnosis and early treatment.

Treatment advice: diagnosis of breast fibrous adenoma, generally recommended surgical resection, surgical resection is currently the only most effective treatment, and cut the mass must be routine pathological examination to eliminate malignant lesions possible. If pathological examination indicates that there is obvious catheter epithelial hyperplasia or even atypical hyperplasia in mammary gland fibroma, it should be reviewed regularly after operation.

Uterine fibroids are not the same as uterine sarcoma.

Zoovi, chief gynecological physician of Zhongshan Hospital: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of gynecology, and most uterine fibroids are not more than 5 cm in size.

Uterine fibroids are good in 30~50岁 women, and most atrophy or subside after menopause. Most patients have no obvious symptoms, if the myoma is long in the uterine muscle wall or under the mucosa, may appear menstrual volume increase and menstrual prolongation, if fibroids compress the bladder, will cause frequent urination, urinary urgency and urination difficulties, compression of the rectum has caused constipation, defecation is not smooth and so on. Some submucosal fibroids and muscular mesothelioma can cause infertility or miscarriage.

But uterine sarcoma is a rare uterine high malignant tumor, prone to metastasis. Early often asymptomatic, as the tumor increases, can appear abnormal vaginal bleeding (postmenopausal vaginal bleeding or menstrual abnormalities), abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement rapidly (if the sarcoma grows into the vagina, the vagina has lumps protruding), as well as the occurrence of urination defecation abnormalities.

Advanced patients can have wasting, anemia, fever, systemic organ failure and so on. Diagnosis is more difficult, the diagnosis needs to rely on the pathological diagnosis of surgical specimens. The treatment is mainly surgical, some patients can assist chemotherapy and radiotherapy after operation. However, the recurrence rate of uterine sarcoma is high, the 5-year survival rate is only 20%~30%, to arouse everyone's attention.

Treatment advice: asymptomatic uterine fibroids do not need to be treated and are followed up every 3-6 months. The occurrence of menstrual overload secondary anemia, abdominal pain, large volume, causing bladder or rectum and other compression symptoms, leading to infertility, repeated abortion, can be surgical treatment. There are a variety of degeneration in the growth of fibroids, which can lead to acute abdominal pain and require emergency surgery.

Identify benign tumors of the skin a look at the two touches

Zhejiang cancer hospital bone and soft tissue oncology deputy Chief physician Li Tao: in clinical often encountered to some benign swelling of the skin too worried, three days run hospital patients. In fact, benign tumors and malignant tumors are still different.

Pigmented nevus (commonly known as Wuzi), senile warts, hemangioma, lipoma, skin fibroids and so on are benign tumors on the skin surface, while malignant melanoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, basal cells cancer, skin accessory cancer and so on are common malignant skin tumors. If you grow something swollen, regardless of color, first look at their own, there is no break, the boundary is clear. General skin benign tumor boundary is clear, not break, and malignant boundary can not be seen clearly, and the surface is also easy to form erosion or ulcer, or the tumor around the appearance of satellite-like damage.

Benign and malignant tumors of the skin are obviously different from appearance form, development speed, or internal structure.Benign tumors are generally smooth on the surface and feel a sliding sensation, like a skin bag hanging there, or as a pebble. and malignant tumors have a sense of obstruction when touched, like roots, and the feeling of infiltrating and growing deep and around.

Treatment advice: suspected skin tumors should be diagnosed by doctors, skin living and pathological examination is the most accurate means of diagnosis. In addition, the resection of skin tumors should go to regular hospitals. For example, mole resection is a surgical procedure that removes the mole dermis, which is completely different from the irregular "laser mole", "Chemical mole Removal" and other methods that only alter the epidermis. The latter not only does not reach the anti-cancer effect, but also increases the risk of cancer. Self-use corrosive drugs or incomplete freezing and other methods to stimulate mole, may occur malignant changes.
