Detailed analysis of the cause of teratoma

Detailed analysis of the cause of teratoma? Teratoma is a type of tumor. This disease has a great impact on people's health. For every teratoma patient, timely treatment is very important, but understanding the cause of the disease is also very important. As long as the patient knows the reason why he suffers from this disease, he can stay away from the trouble of the disease and receive symptomatic treatment.

Teratomas are composed of several different types of tissues from 2 or 3 germ layers, so they can contain every type of tissue in the body. The site of occurrence is closely connected to the midline anterior or para-midline area of ​​the viviparous body cavity, such as the sacrum, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and ovaries and testicles. According to the degree of tissue maturity, teratomas can be divided into benign teratomas, malignant teratomas, and mixed teratomas. Teratomas have a tendency to become malignant. As children age, the rate of malignancy gradually increases, especially sacrococcygeal teratomas, which can become malignant within a short period of time after birth. However, there are also malignant teratomas at the onset. Malignant teratomas grow rapidly, easily penetrate the capsule and invade surrounding tissues, and metastasize to lymph nodes, lungs, and bone tissues through lymphatic and blood circulation. Generally, most cystic teratomas are benign. There are more malignant solid tumors. Histological grading of teratomas helps to determine prognosis and guide treatment. Grade 0 or 1 teratomas have a lower chance of becoming malignant and most do not metastasize. Grade 3 teratomas have the greatest chance of becoming malignant.

During the embryonic period, some tissues or cells with omnipotent development potential escape the control of tissue origin and inducer, separate or fall off from the whole, mix in the individual, cause cell gene mutation and lead to abnormal differentiation, and develop into teratoma; if it happens in the late embryonic period, the cells still have the ability to develop into various tissues of the body, that is, form a teratoma with three germ layer tissues: inner, middle and outer. The tail Hen-Son node is the place where pluripotent cells are concentrated, so sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common. Parents with teratoma can pass it on to the next generation. Among 6 families, 17 people suffered from sacrococcygeal teratoma, and both men and women can get sick, suggesting that the occurrence of sacrococcygeal teratoma is related to genetics.

That’s all I have to say about the causes of teratoma. I believe every patient will understand after reading this. In order to avoid the occurrence of teratoma, we must avoid the above pathogenic factors. I hope every patient can recover as soon as possible.
