They are primarily found in women between the fourth and sixth decades of life with a peak incidence at the age of 45. Occurrence in men is extremely rare, but has been reported in cases associated especially with enlargement of the male breast due to hormonal imbalances. The rarity of PTs makes them…

lump. Breast cancer is more common in women than men are, but they also need to realize that they can also be diagnosed with breast cancer. Fibro adenoma has been identified as the most prevalent form of benign breast tumor, while Invasive Ductal Carcinoma is the prevalent kind of malignant breast tumor. Statistics illustrate that breast cancer is more likely to be found on older women who are fifty years and above, but there has been a swing of events where younger women who are below fifty…

How do Meningiomas Affect the Brain? Meningiomas are typical kind of tumor that begins in the nervous system. Though they are called brain tumors, they actually grow on the three layers of meninges of the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas tend to grow in the meninges of the brain, but can occur in the meninges of the spinal cord. The meninges are the tissue that protects the brain and spinal cord. The cause of meningiomas is not well understood, but could be from genetic and environmental…

cavity, piriform sinus, or hypo-pharynx. Universally, it is the twelfth most common part of the body that can develop cancerous tumor []. According to Wiley Online Library 2014’s statistics men are twice more likely to have mouth cancer than women []. Mouth and oropharynx cancer became a major health problem nowadays; thus, everyone should recognize the different types of tumors, the types of the oropharynx and mouth’s…

described as calcified giant cell tumor by Ewing.11 Chondroblastoma constitutes a very rare bone tumor entity.2,6 In most cases it manifests between 10 to 20 years. Chondroblastoma are typically centered in an epiphysis. Although they occur most often in the end of a major tubular bone, they can appear in any secondary center of ossification, such as the greater trochanter. Males predominate in incidence. In the literature, there are only three types of tumors that involve the physis.…

common bone tumors of the foot and ankle are osseous and cartilaginous lesions, including enchondromas, osteochondromas, and chondromyxoid fibromas [1]. Giant cell tumors (GCT), chondroblastomas, osteoid osteomas, and osteoblastomas also occur. Non-neoplastic conditions include intraosseous lipomas, simple (unicameral) bone cysts, and aneurysmal bone cysts [2]. GCT, also known as osteoclastomas, are fairly common bone tumors, accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumors. They are benign tumors…

Introduction: Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossifying tumor, occurs most often in young women, 2 or 3 decades. It may be located in the peripapillary or macula. It can be unilateral or bilateral.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells which can invade other parts of the body causing a neoplasm or tumor. Tumors can be either benign or malignant, with benign tumors usually remaining localized. (1) Continuous growth, prevention of programmed cell death, invasion of tissue, promotion of blood vessel constriction and formation of metastases are all characteristics of malignant tumors. Benign cancer does not present with symptoms while malignant cancers are more likely to be symptomatic…

that arise from normal tissue. Furthermore, there are two different characteristics of neoplasm: benign and malignant. Benign tumors are totally different than malignant tumors. In other words, benign tumor is noninvasive and encapsulated, it is well-differentiated in, which it composed of organized and specialized cells that closely resemble the normal cells.…
