What are the specific complications of hamartoma

According to the survey results, food safety ranks first, and the ecological environment ranks second. Over the years, affected by these two factors, the types of diseases have become more and more numerous, and the incidence of hamartoma has continued to rise in recent years. Today, let's take a look at the specific complications of hamartoma.

What diseases may be complicated by hamartoma? Most hamartomas occur in people over 40 years old, more often in men than in women. The vast majority of hamartomas (about 80% or more) grow in the peripheral part of the lungs, close to the visceral pleura of the lungs, and sometimes protrude from the surface of the lungs.

What diseases may be complicated by hamartoma? There are very few reports about the complications of this disease. For patients who need surgery, the careful selection of surgical methods, the preservation of normal lung tissue as much as possible, and the principle of preventing excessive resection can also well prevent the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. However, if the tumor is large, it will cause compression symptoms on the heart, large blood vessels, and lung tissue, causing chest deformity, and may also cause complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and bronchiectasis, which will aggravate or complicate the condition. Therefore, when clinical and X-ray cannot rule out malignant tumors, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Symptoms of hamartoma: Most hamartoma patients have no symptoms. The main reasons for the symptoms are mostly related to the location, size, number, growth rate, and relationship between the hamartoma and surrounding organs. During the physical examination, it is often found that some patients may have the following symptoms due to the tumor itself, increased pressure in the tumor, infection, etc.:

① Discomfort or pain in the waist and abdomen: The reason is that the enlarged and expanded kidney increases the tension of the renal capsule, pulls the renal pedicle, or compresses the adjacent organs. In addition, the large size of the renal hamartoma causes the kidney to become heavy, which can also cause lumbar pain. The pain is characterized by dull pain, fixed on one or both sides, radiating to the lower part and the waist and back. If there is bleeding in the tumor or secondary infection, the pain will suddenly intensify. If the urinary tract is blocked by stones or blood clots after bleeding, renal colic may occur.

②Hematuria: It can be manifested as microscopic hematuria or macroscopic hematuria. The attack is cyclical. The back pain often intensifies during the attack. Vigorous exercise, trauma, and infection can induce or aggravate it.

③Abdominal mass: Sometimes it is the main reason for patients to seek medical treatment. Sixty to eighty percent of patients can feel enlarged kidneys.

④ Proteinuria: Generally, the amount is not much, and will not exceed 2g in 24 hours. Nephrotic syndrome will not occur.

⑤ Hypertension: The tumor compresses the kidneys, causing renal ischemia, increasing renin secretion, and causing hypertension. When renal function is normal, more than 50% of patients have hypertension, and the incidence of hypertension is even higher when renal function is impaired.

⑥ Decreased renal function: Due to the tumor's space occupation and compression, the normal renal tissue is significantly reduced and renal function progressively declines.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of hamartoma. Other diseases that may be complicated by hamartoma include pyelonephritis, etc. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.
