How is hamartoma caused

How are hamartomas caused? Hamartomas can come from many tissues, and are common in the lungs, kidneys, breasts, thalamus and other tissues. Most of them develop after the age of 40. Although the disease is clinically defined as a pseudotumor, the harm it brings cannot be ignored. Therefore, we must understand the cause of the disease and take daily precautions. So, how are hamartomas caused?

Hepatic hamartomas are tumors that usually form during the growth and development period and grow along with the liver portal structures. Some pathologists believe that they are probably abnormal development of primitive mesenchymal cells in the late embryonic period, when the liver forms lobule structures and connects with the bile ducts.

The cause of pulmonary hamartoma is still unclear. The more easily accepted hypothesis is that hamartoma is a piece of bronchial tissue that is inverted and detached during embryonic development and surrounded by normal lung tissue. This part of tissue grows slowly, or may not grow for a certain period of time, and then gradually develops to form a tumor. The fact that most hamartomas occur after the age of 40 supports this hypothesis.

Breast hamartomas, like hamartomas in other parts of the body, may be caused by structural disorder of breast tissue during the embryonic period, which leads to changes in the proportion of normal breast structure. The residual breast duct germs and fiber and fat tissues grow abnormally after birth, forming a benign tumor-like hyperplasia. When the tumor develops to a certain extent, its growth rate will significantly slow down or stop. Some scholars also believe that breast hamartomas mainly occur after childbirth or menopause, and are related to hormonal changes that affect breast tissue.

Hypothalamic hamartoma, also known as gray tubercle hamartoma and hypothalamic neuronal hamartoma, is a rare congenital abnormal development of brain tissue. The cause of renal hamartoma is still unclear. It is mostly found in middle-aged women and is composed of mature adipose tissue, smooth muscle and abnormal blood vessels.

Patients with hamartomas should pay attention to keeping a good mood, avoid getting angry, eat more vegetables and fruits, keep bowel movements regular, do not eat too much, and eat about 70% to 80% full. Eat less beef, mutton, pork, and dog meat, avoid greasy and heavy foods, strong alcohol, and spicy fried foods. It is better to eat light, nutritious foods.
