Histiocytoma (Histiocytomad)

Histiocytoma

Histiocytoma is a tumor that consists of macrophages or histiocytes. Histiocytes are cells of the immune system that can absorb foreign substances and bacteria.

Histiocytomas can be benign or malignant. Benign histiocytomas are usually localized tumors of the skin or subcutaneous tissue. They often occur in children and adolescents.

Malignant histiocytoma is called fibrosarcoma. This is a more aggressive tumor that can metastasize to other organs. Fibrosarcoma consists of atypical histiocytes that infiltrate and destroy surrounding tissue.

To diagnose histiocytoma, a histological examination of the tumor is performed. If a histiocytoma is detected, complete surgical removal of the tumor is necessary. Fibrosarcoma may require chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The prognosis depends on the malignancy of the tumor and the possibility of its complete removal.

Histiocytomas are tumors composed of macrophages or histiocytes that can ingest foreign substances or bacteria. These cells are part of the body's immune system and help fight infection. However, if their numbers become too large, they can begin to grow and form tumors.

Histiocytomas can be either benign or malignant. Benign histiocytomas usually do not cause symptoms and can be removed surgically. Malignant histiocytomas, however, can cause serious health problems such as pain, swelling, bleeding, and even death.

One of the most common types of histiocytes

Histioma is a malignant tumor represented by tumor cells capable of accumulating various types of substances, including bacterial factors. For the first time, this type of benign formation was noticed and named in dogs, and then histologists established the similarity of this tumor to bone cancer.
