Tumor of Interstitial Cells

An interstitial tissue tumor is a rare tumor that develops from interstitial cells - cells of the intercellular substance that fill the space between muscle fibers and blood vessels in parenchymal organs or other tissues of the body.

Interstitial tumors (IT) account for less than 4% of the total number of neoplasms of the male reproductive system. Such tumors can be benign or malignant. However, according to scientists, only 20% of cases of esophagitis are malignant. Despite the fact that interstitial tissue swelling occurs very rarely, it is extremely dangerous and can grow quickly and aggressively, occupy a large volume of tissue and grow into nearby organs. In the later stages of the disease, it is practically untreatable and is one of the leading factors in the mortality of patients with such diseases.

Risk factors for tumor development include alcoholism, smoking, radiation exposure (for example, radiation therapy) and a general weakening of the body's immune system due to other pathologies. Since there is no single approach to treating this tumor, diagnostic studies and consultations on the best treatment are carried out in international Oncology clinics.
