Causes of teratoma formation

With the continuous progress of human society, there are more and more diseases around us. Speaking of teratoma, I believe you will show an expression that you have never heard of it. After all, this is a disease that is not very common in life. Experts say that teratoma deteriorates quickly. When we find it, we should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. So, what is the cause of teratoma?

During the development of somatic embryos, there is a pluripotent cell with pluripotent development potential. Under normal embryonic development, it develops and differentiates into mature cells of each germ layer. If some pluripotent cells separate or fall off from the whole at different stages of the embryo, causing cell genes to mutate and differentiation to be abnormal, embryo abnormalities may occur. It is generally believed that if this separation or shedding occurs in the early embryo, a teratoma will be formed; if it occurs in the late embryo, an abnormally differentiated tissue with three germ layers of endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm will be formed, that is, a teratoma will be formed.

The pathological characteristics of teratoma are that the tumor tissue is composed of three germ layers: the outer, middle and inner germ layers, and often contains mature or immature skin, teeth, bones, cartilage, nerves, muscles, fat, epithelium and other tissues. A few may also contain gastric mucosa, pancreas, liver, kidney, lung, thyroid and thymus tissue components. Malignant teratomas often appear as immature tissues that are difficult to define and distinguish. The malignant transformation of teratomas is often manifested as abnormal proliferation of neural tissue or epithelial tissue to form malignant teratomas.

After all, the treatment of teratoma takes a long time, and during the treatment, the patient's body will lose nutrients rapidly. Therefore, during the treatment, nutritional supplements are necessary. The above article introduces the causes of teratoma, and I hope it will help you understand this disease clearly.
