How to prevent and treat hamartoma

I believe most people have never heard of hamartoma, so there is no way to talk about its prevention and treatment. In fact, hamartoma is not a true tumor, so its prevention and treatment cannot be done according to the general prevention and treatment of tumors. Next, let's explain how to prevent and treat hamartoma.

Hamartoma refers to a tumor-like deformity caused by the wrong combination and arrangement of normal tissues in a certain organ of the body during development. The term "hamartoma" was first proposed by Albrecht in 1904. Hamartoma is not a true tumor. It grows slowly and increases with the development and growth of the body, but it stops when it grows to a certain extent. It is coordinated with the body and rarely becomes malignant. There are also a few scholars who believe that hamartoma is a true tumor (such as renal angiomyolipoma) rather than an "abnormal combination of normal tissues" and should be classified as a mesenchymal tumor. Hamartoma can come from many tissues, and is commonly seen in the lung (mixed with cartilage islands, bronchial epithelium and glands, localized hyperplasia to form localized or diffuse hamartomas), kidney (angiomyolipoma), breast (breast hamartoma formed by breast lobular fat) and infant liver (mesenchymal hamartoma).

Although the cause of this disease is not very clear, there are no effective preventive measures. At present, more attention should be paid to the careful selection of surgical methods. For patients who need surgical treatment, normal lung tissue should be preserved as much as possible to avoid excessive surgery. This has also become the principle of surgical treatment for such patients in recent years.

In daily life, we need to pay attention to keeping a good mood, avoid getting angry, eat more vegetables and fruits, keep the bowels open, do not eat too much, about 70% to 80% full is appropriate, eat less beef, mutton, pork, and dog meat, avoid greasy and heavy foods, strong alcohol, and spicy fried foods, and it is better to eat light, nutritious foods.
