What are the diagnostic methods for hamartoma

Hamartoma is a very terrible disease. It is very harmful to people. Depending on its growth location, there are different symptoms of hamartoma. However, the early symptoms are not obvious. Many people will ignore them, which eventually leads to serious consequences. Here I will introduce to you the diagnostic methods of hamartoma:

Including CT examination, angiography, chest X-ray, etc., the diagnostic effects of these examination methods are very good. Let us introduce them in detail below.

CT examination:

CT shows a few vascular masses, capsules and solid tissues with lower density than the liver. Huge low-density areas with uneven density can be seen in the liver. The diagnosis of hepatic hamartoma can be seen in multiple cystic liquid dark areas. Currently, CT is still a fast and low-cost method, and it can well display the anatomical boundaries to determine the possibility of surgical resection.

Angiography:

It presents as a mass with no or few blood vessels (small blood vessels between fibrous tissue). It is uncommon for the lesion to invade the surrounding liver parenchyma or the inferior vena cava in hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma. Arterial angiography is of little help in diagnosis and surgery because the lesion has a poor blood supply. Radionuclide scanning: It is also helpful in the diagnosis of this disease.

Chest X-ray:

Chest plain film, also known as chest radiography. The X-ray images obtained by radiography are much clearer than those obtained by fluoroscopy. Its advantage is that the images of the examined parts are permanently retained on the film, which can be used for analysis, discussion and review and comparison. It can be preserved as scientific research data. Radiography can show fine structures, such as early lesions larger than 2mm, which are clearer than fluoroscopy. Radiography can examine thicker parts of the human body and allows patients to receive less X-rays. Patients with hamartomas can undergo this examination.

Lung biopsy:

Lung biopsy is a percutaneous lung biopsy. It is used for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions or diffuse lung lesions. It is indicated for pulmonary mass lesions that cannot be qualitatively identified by fiberoptic bronchoscopy, X-ray, sputum, microbial blood and other examinations. It is particularly suitable for diagnosing masses located in the peripheral area. For diffuse lung lesions of unknown cause, percutaneous lung biopsy can be performed under the condition of pleural adhesion. Localized lung infiltration. Unexplained mediastinal mass. Patients with hamartoma can undergo this examination.

This is all I have to say about the article "What are the effective methods for diagnosing hamartomas?" I believe that every patient will understand after reading it. Clinically, there are many methods for diagnosing hamartomas, and patients can choose according to their own circumstances. I hope the above article will be helpful to everyone.
