Embryocytoma

Embryocytoma is a rare neoplasm, which is a tumor consisting of cells of embryonic origin. This tumor occurs due to mutations in the genes that control the development of embryonic cells, and leads to uncontrolled growth of these cells.

Embryocytes are the most common germ cell tumors (GCTs) that can be found in various tissues of the body. They can occur in any tissue, but are most common in the ovaries, testicles, lungs, breasts, skin and brain.

Symptoms of embryocytoma may include abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement, bleeding from the vagina or urination, and changes in the menstrual cycle. If the tumor is not treated, it can lead to serious complications such as tumor rupture and bleeding, which can lead to death.

Treatment for embryocytoma includes surgical removal of the tumor, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. The choice of treatment method depends on the size of the tumor, its location and the stage of the disease.

It is important to note that embryocytoma is a rare disease and its diagnosis can be difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms. Therefore, if you have any suspicions about embryocytoma, it is recommended to consult a doctor for diagnosis and selection of the most appropriate treatment method.

Embryocytes (embryocytes; lat. embryocytus “embryo tumor”) are an imperfect type of extracellular formation (especially often embryodeniomas), arising from undifferentiated stem cells of the embryo.

EMBRYOCYTOMA (tumor-like teratomas, ectodermomas or pseudo-embryos) is a tumor-like formation in the liver containing pieces of bone tissue, cartilage, desquamated dermatophytes, sometimes hair fragments, parts of a tumor in histology and thymomyeloacanthocytomatosis. The formation of embryocytes always leads to malignancy of the tumor, often to the formation of secondary metastases in the lungs.
