Colloidum

Colloidumylum or hyalomas are one of the types of lymph node tumors that appear in most cases in people after 40-45 years. People suffering from chronic diseases, endocrine disorders and impaired immunity are also at risk. According to official data, the disease is rare - within 3%. At the same time, the number of studies on this pathology is significantly less than on other neoplasms, which makes information about the development of the disease and treatment methods insufficient. All this makes the issue of diagnosis and treatment of colloidomylum acutely relevant for all age groups and arouses great interest among doctors. The term colloidulmilium comes from the Latin phrases “altered plasma cells” or “sinus and altered plasma cells.” This is approximately how the disease was described back in 1843 by Rival, and in the translation of some modern sources (for example, in an article authored by Topolsky) the disease is also called hyalomas. The first mentions of hyalomnas are published in the books of Gumba and Bogomazov, who consider them to be ordinary follicular necrosis of the lymph node. According to them, this condition develops due to increased levels of sex hormones, trauma, or a viral pathological process. Since this theory is not confirmed, it is usually called rudimentary. Most modern studies adhere to the idea that hyaloid lympholymphomas arise from cells of the immunosuppressive type due to mutations of gene chains. Considering the main feature of the colloidumulum lesion, it should be assumed that this is probably a form of ultra-fast growth, which is directly related to immunodeficiency. The viral theory essentially has less weight, but may well be the cause of the pathology. There is also a version that the cutaneous form of the disease is formed due to the activation of the process of transformation of dendritic and T-killer cells into plasma cells.

Colloidumuli is an eye disease that is characterized by the formation of specific deposits in the anterior chamber of the eyeball. In Latin, collaido means colloidal and umi means milk. Thus, collidumuli in literal translation will sound like “milk colloids”.

The main reasons for the development of colloidumi are eye infections (viral and bacterial), injuries, tumors, dystrophic changes in the vitreous body of the lens, diseases of an infectious-inflammatory nature, and so on. In medicine, Colloidums are divided into three main types: Traumatic, Infectious, Allergic. Unfortunately, none of the mechanisms causing this condition has yet been fully studied. It has been established that it appears as a result of changes in the composition of colloidal and crystalline structures of various physiological fluids and eye tissues. These changes can be caused by various reasons, including infectious diseases, injuries, deposition of metabolic products, destructive changes in the nervous system, heredity and other factors.
