Aneurysms - what are they and why do they arise?

Cervical diseases

Aneurysms (Latin for teratoma) are a type of cancer arising from so-called multipotent germ cells. Why do they arise? Are they dangerous to health and life?

How do angiosarcomas develop?

Hemangiomas are a type of cancer that arise from the abnormal functioning of multipotent cells, which are capable of self-renewal and differentiation. Multipotent cells are classified as stem cells. In the case of angiosarcomas, the cells are mutated, as a result of which they lose their properties and multiply in regions of the body where they would not be found in a healthy organism. They can take the form of various "creations" - with hair, skin, glands, cartilage fragments and even... teeth. Monstrosities can secrete chorionic gonadotropin in excess, which can give false positive results on a pregnancy test.

Disturbing symptoms

Symptoms that should prompt a quick visit to a specialist include:

  • bloating,
  • a feeling of fullness,
  • constipation,
  • pain on passing urine or stools,
  • nausea and vomiting,
  • discharge and menstrual disorders,
  • testicular pain,
  • a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum.

Detection of

Aneurysms are usually detected incidentally, e.g. during a Medical US examination. The most common places where such lesions are diagnosed are the ovaries or testicles. The so-called mature angiosarcomas consist mainly of mature cells and are therefore usually considered benign lesions, although, unfortunately, there are exceptions. Immature angiosarcomas are made up of unspecialised cells and are therefore considered to be malignant tumours. They are characterised by very rapid growth and a tendency to give metastases.

Treatment

Treatment is based on the surgical removal of the tumours. For the malignant variety, chemotherapy is necessary.
