Neuroma Malignant

Neuromas are benign tumors of the auditory nerve. Neurons are poorly differentiated cells that originate in the neural tube located inside the walls of the spinal cord. The tumor is a cystic formation with a dense wall, filled with serous contents. 1% of neuromas occur with signs of malignant growth. Unlike a benign tumor, a malignant neuroma contains atypical or cancer cells. As a result, metastases may appear and grow throughout the body.

The clinical picture of malignant neuroma can manifest itself after decades. The number of complaints about the initial appointment at the oncology clinic will be minimal. Most often it may be a slight pain, a sensation of a foreign body, sleep disturbance, noise in the ears and head. Sometimes this set may be added to: signs of allergies, cough, blurred vision, peeling of the skin and mucous membrane. In rare cases, a neuroma develops and grows in the brain. Neuromas are divided into several types, which differ in appearance and origin: * Chondrimatous * Achalzinovaya * Angiofibrosis

The differences between malignant neurognoma are the slow growth rate, the involvement of lobular formations of the neuroma sac, and the presence of atypical changes in the tumor tissue. To diagnose neuromas, CT/MRI is used, which can also determine the presence of metastasis. X-rays are taken to determine the extent of the lesion and determine treatment. A tissue sample for biopsy is taken from the primary lesion and its regional lymph nodes. The patient is asked to undergo ECHO-CG and ECG to exclude the possible spread of pathology throughout the cardiovascular system. Treatment for this type of tumor consists of surgery, which successfully removes the tumor, removes part of the nerve
