A mixed type tumor (mixed tumor) is a rare neoplasm that can occur in various tissues and organs. It is characterized by a combination of different types of cells and tissues, which leads to its heterogeneity and unpredictability.
Mixed tumors can occur in a variety of organs and tissues, including the lungs, breasts, ovaries, pancreas, liver, and others. They can be benign or malignant, and depending on the type of tissue and location, they can have different symptoms and complications.
Various methods are used to diagnose a mixed tumor, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and others. Treatment depends on the type of tumor, its size, location and other factors.
In general, mixed tumors are complex and unpredictable neoplasms that require careful diagnosis and treatment.
Benign tumors of a mixed type (mixed or complex) are neoplasms that combine different types of tissue: epithelium, connective and glandular tissue. These formations can occur in various parts of the body: lungs, liver, kidneys, mammary glands, ovaries, prostate gland, intestines, bladder and other organs. In this article, we'll look at what mixed tumors are, why they occur, and what treatments are available to remove them.
Tumors of mixed composition are divided into two groups:
- complex (i.e. contain more than one type of tissue); - recurrent (those occur again after surgery, when the primary tumor is removed).
To complex mixed
