How to distinguish hamartoma

When it comes to hospitals, we all avoid going there if we can. Although we want to avoid it, we should find out, diagnose and treat it early when we are sick, so as to avoid further development of the disease and make it more difficult to cure. For the sake of our health, I will introduce to you how to distinguish hamartoma:

Hamartoma is a non-neoplastic dysplastic lesion, which is an abnormal mixture and proliferation of the inherent tissue of the tissue or organ. Its essence is a deformity formed by the excessive growth of local tissue after birth, and it is not a true tumor. Tumors generally do not continue to grow. These dysplastic lesions of hamartoma can be seen in many parts of the body. The most common clinical case is the lungs, which are a type of hamartoma with cartilage hyperplasia as the main feature. The second most common case is the kidney, i.e. the angiomyolipoma of the kidney. The commonly seen hemangiomas and lymphangiomas are also a type of dysplasia in essence, and are also a type of lesion of hamartoma nature, and are not true tumors. Hamartoma is composed of abnormally proliferating blood vessels, smooth muscles and adipose tissue in different proportions, and is a benign tumor. The disease can occur not only in the liver, but also in the brain, eyes, heart, lungs, bones and other parts. The disease is very harmful to the patient's body.

The basis for diagnosis is the patient's oral description of his or her clinical symptoms. The doctor can identify hamartoma based on his or her own experience and the patient's clinical manifestations. This method is the primary basis for identification. Further examination requires reliance on developed scientific and technological means for diagnosis.

The second is a more professional examination method, which is now the scientific examination method commonly used in hospitals, that is, the use of X-rays. Doctors use X-rays to judge the condition of internal organs, and then further determine that the patient has a hamartoma based on the patient's own symptoms. X-ray chest examination is the main method. The chest film shows a single round or oval shadow with smooth edges of varying sizes, which may be lobed. Calcification or low-density shadows can sometimes be seen in the tumor. CT chest scans are more helpful for diagnosis, and transthoracic lung biopsy can help confirm peripheral lung tumors.

Finally, the doctor can also use ultrasound examination, which shows solid space-occupying lesions, mostly masses with strong echoes, combined with the two methods mentioned above, to comprehensively determine whether the patient has this disease.

The above mentioned are all methods for distinguishing hamartomas.
