What is the best way to treat hamartoma

When it comes to hamartoma, I believe many people don’t know much about it. Although hamartoma is not terrible, it may worsen or complicate the condition due to untimely treatment or carelessness in life, leading to complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, etc. Some may even turn into malignant tumors. Therefore, the treatment of hamartoma is very important. Let us learn about the best way to treat hamartoma.

After years of detailed and in-depth research on the pathogenesis, combined with modern biomolecular theory, it has finally been concluded that the fundamental cause of the formation of various types of hamartomas is "lipoma factor". There is also a lipoma factor in the patient's body. Under normal circumstances, this lipoma factor is in an inactivated state (inactive state) and will not cause the disease under normal circumstances. However, under the influence of various internal and external environmental factors, the activity of this lipoma factor is in an active state and has a certain activity. When external factors change, coupled with changes in the internal environment of the body, the activity of the lipoma factor is further enhanced, causing abnormal proliferation of normal fat cells, resulting in the deposition of adipose tissue in the smooth muscle tissue of the capillaries, forming a protruding mass of the organs, called a hamartoma.

Western medicine treatment of hamartoma

Pulmonary hamartomas found during health examinations are sometimes difficult to distinguish from malignant tumors in the lungs because there is no dynamic observation. Pulmonary hamartomas that grow rapidly in a short period of time are also difficult to diagnose. Therefore, when clinical and X-ray findings cannot rule out malignant tumors, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Even for benign hamartomas, early surgery can avoid complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and bronchiectasis caused by tumor growth, which can aggravate or complicate the condition.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. After opening the chest, the tumor can be seen on the surface of the lung. It is hard and not smooth. You can feel the tumor sliding in the lung tissue. The tumor can be completely removed by cutting the lung tissue and separating it slightly. Except for endobronchial hamartoma or other possible malignant tumors, local resection or lung segment resection is generally performed.

TCM treatment of hamartoma

There is no effective conservative treatment for this disease, and Chinese medicine cannot eliminate it. Generally, we can consider using laparoscopic nephrolithotomy or surgery to remove renal hamartomas with treatment indications, such as when the tumor is large or grows rapidly during follow-up visits or is accompanied by corresponding clinical symptoms, and the treatment effect is good.
