Histiocytoma Malignant

Histioma is a benign soft tissue formation that develops from histioblasts. It is quite rare and can have malignant transformation. With such complaints, you should contact an oncologist, who, after conducting examinations, will suggest the correct path of treatment. The name of an oncological tumor comes from the Greek histia - “cell” and cytos - “tissue”. With histioma, there are cells that make up the histiotubular connective tissue around the healthy tissues of the affected area, while the total number of cells themselves is increased. The formation has a high cellular density and consists of smaller cells called histioblasts. Based on the tissue structure, adenohistiomas, erythrogistiomas and histioplastic forms are distinguished.

Histioma can take on a variety of sizes, reaching up to 7 cm in diameter. It usually forms in the head, neck, behind the ear and soft tissues of the body. The disease usually occurs from the age of 15 and disappears on the skin or tendons. In most cases it is a single lesion, although patients may also have multiple lesions.

Despite its name (tumor), there are virtually no symptoms of the disease. There may be only some swelling or asymmetry, but a more accurate sign of the disease is a vascular tumor on the body

**Etiology and pathogenesis** Tumors of this type are found everywhere. Most of them are formed precisely by



Histiocyte is an inactive type of pus, so it prefers to live in loamy areas. Whenever histiocytes rise into the bloodstream, they have a huge need for fluid. When they receive enough of this fluid, they begin to grow and spread throughout
