Connective tissue neoplasm is a type of neoplasm or tumor that originates in the connective tissue. Connective tissue is a type of biological tissue that supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs.
Overview[edit]
Connective tissue neoplasms can be either benign or malignant. Benign neoplasms are not cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant neoplasms, on the other hand, are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body in a process known as metastasis.
Types[edit]
There are several types of connective tissue neoplasms, including:
- Fibroma: A benign tumor composed of fibrous or connective tissue.
- Lipoma: A benign tumor composed of adipose tissue.
- Leiomyoma: A benign tumor of smooth muscle tissue.
- Rhabdomyoma: A benign tumor of striated muscle.
- Chondroma: A benign tumor of cartilage.
- Osteoma: A benign bone tumor.
- Sarcoma: A malignant tumor of connective tissue.
Diagnosis and Treatment[edit]
Diagnosis of connective tissue neoplasms typically involves a combination of medical imaging techniques, such as MRI or CT scan, and biopsy to examine the tissue under a microscope. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of the neoplasm, and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these.
