Anthracotic Node

Anthracotic nodes are tumor-like formations that can appear in various parts of the body. They are dense tumors of yellowish or reddish color, consisting of connective tissue and collagen fibers. These nodes are usually painless and round in shape, but can sometimes be painful when touched or moved.

Anthracotic nodules result from the accumulation of pigments in the tissue, such as melanin, carotenoids, and phenylenanthrone. This process occurs due to metabolic disorders associated with certain diseases, such as hereditary metabolic diseases or chronic liver diseases.

Most often, anthracotic nodules develop in the liver, kidneys and pancreas. However, they can cause the following symptoms:

1. Change in color of the skin, mucous membranes, tongue, fingers and nails. If the pigment tissue is located under the skin, it can cause the hands, feet and lips to turn yellow or brown. 3. Formation of age spots on the skin. Age spots can appear on the skin, cheeks, nose and neck. 4. Darkening of the eye pupil. This can lead to irreversible vision loss. 5. Formation of pigmented tissue or hematoma in the skin. Large cases in damaged tissue can lead to the formation of tumors. 6. Itching and burning at the growth site. If anthracotnoctic cysts cause severe pain, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Your doctor may also suggest surgical removal of the nodes. 8. Changes in the liver and other organs. Some components
