Tumors have a number of obnoxious effects. I shall assume that you mean cancerous tumors, here, though some of this would apply to benign tumors, too.\n\nFirst of all, the tumor--whether benign or malignant--takes resources away from other tissues.  What the tumor takes, it takes away from all else.  It's being the biological equivalent of a power drain.\n\nNext, as it grows, the tumor can push on healthy structures--again, that's whether it's benign or malignant.  Depending on where they are, they can impair blood flow, lymphatic return, swallowing, emptying of the stomach (Or anything else), they can sometimes cause seizures, weaken bones, block off breathing, etc.  Oh, and if they're visible, they can be cosmetically disfiguring.\n\nSpecifically with malignant tumors--read that cancer, if you please--they can and often do spread elsewhere, the presence of the "daughter tumors" (Doctors call them metastases) causing an increase in the metabolic load and an increase in the number of places that get squeezed on.\n\nMoreover, many cancers produce chemicals of control--polypeptide hormones, like gastrin or insulin or antidiuretic hormone or cortisone or parathormone or, oh enough--that can play merry hob with the metabolism...\n\nThat's what comes to mind off the top of my ol' head...

Chordomas are rare. They are a type of malignant tumor that is slow growing but very invasive, which means they have a tendency to spread and invade surrounding tissue and organs.  They are located in the sella turcica, a small depression on the surface of the sphenoid bone (in the skull) which houses the pituitary gland.  The radiation therapy is to kill off any remaining cancer cells.  Your nephew is facing another ordeal with radiation and both he and his parents will need your support and encouragement. I'll pray for a good outcome for him.

i am sorry about ur grief. i will try my best to give the best information i can. but u wouldnt mind if its long enough? do u?\nA brain tumor is any intracranial mass created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells either normally found in the brain itself: neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors).\n\nPrimary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they can affect any part of the brain.\n\nIn the United States in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were 16,500 new cases of brain tumors[1], which accounted for 1.4% of all cancers, 2.4% of all cancer deaths[2], and 20%–25% of pediatric cancers[2],[3]. Ultimately, it is estimated that there are 13,000 deaths/year as a result of brain tumors[1].\n\nAside from exposure to vinyl chloride or ionizing radiation, there are no known environmental factors associated with brain tumors. Mutations and deletions of so-called tumor supressor genes are incriminated in some forms of brain tumors. Patients with various inherited diseases, such as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neurofibromatosis type 2 are at high risk of developing brain tumors.In contrast to tumors originating elsewhere in the body, differentiating primary "brain tumors"—these are the true brain tumors, arising exclusively from cells normally present in the brain itself—into benign and malignant is of relative and limited clinical value, since even histologically-benign tumors grow by infiltration of healthy brain tissue and, in time, tend to transform into malignant forms (anaplastic degeneration). True benign intracranial tumors arise mainly from the meninges (meningiomas; about 95% are benign), pituitary gland (pituitary adenomas) and the myelin sheath of cranial nerves (neuromas or Schwanomas, e.g. acoustic neuroma).\n\nMost primary brain tumors (gliomas) originate from glia: astrocytes (astrocytomas), oligodendrocytes (oligodendrogliomas). There are also mixed forms, with both an astrocytic and an oligodendroglial cell component. These are called mixed gliomas or oligoastrocytomas. Additionally, mixed glio-neuronal tumors (tumors displaying a neuronal, as well as a glial component, e.g. gangliogliomas, disembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors) and tumors originating from neuronal cells (e.g. gangliocytoma, central gangliocytoma) can also be encountered.\n\nOther varieties of primary brain tumors include: primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET, e.g. medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, ependymoblastoma), tumors of the pineal parenchyma (e.g. pineocytoma, pineoblastoma), ependymal cell tumors, choroid plexus tumors, neuroepithelial tumors of uncertain origin (e.g. gliomatosis cerebri, astroblastoma), etc.\n\nFrom a histological perspective, astrocytomas, oligondedrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas may be benign or malignant. Glioblastoma multiforme represents the most aggressive variety of malignant glioma. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are so-called pilocytic astrocytomas, a distinct variety of astrocytic tumors. The majority of them are located in the posterior cranial fossa, affect mainly children and young adults, and have a clinically favorable course and prognosis.\n\nIn contrast to other types of cancer, primary brain tumors rarely metastasize, and in this rare event, the tumor cells spread within the skull and spinal canal through the cerebrospinal fluid, rather than via bloodstream to other organs.\n\nThere are various classification systems currently in use for primary brain tumors, the most common being the World Health Organization (W

Out of curiosity, was this found on a CT scan or MRI?\n\nMeningiomas represent about 15 percent of all primary brain tumors and 12 percent of all spinal cord tumors. They can occur in children, but most often occur in adults between the ages of 40 and 60 years. Most meningiomas are benign, as less than 10 percent of meningiomas are malignant.\n\nWhat is a meningioma?\nA meningioma is a brain tumor that grows in the meninges, a thin layer of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Some meningiomas contain cysts or calcified mineral deposits, and others contain hundreds of tiny blood vessels. Because meningiomas tend to grow inward, they commonly cause pressure on the brain or spinal cord. Although less common, meningiomas can grow outward, causing the skull to thicken. Meningiomas grow very slowly, and it is often many years before they become symptomatic.

A myoma is just a fancy medical term for uterine fibroids.  Simply put, fibroids are just an overgrowth of uterine tissue.  It is almost NEVER a cancerous situation.\nMyoma: A benign tumor of smooth muscle in the wall of the uterus. A myoma of the uterus is commonly called a fibroid. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4490\nA myomectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove just the fibroids, is frequently the chosen treatment for premenopausal women who want to bear more children, because it usually can preserve fertility.

It is Paget's disease.\nPaget's disease shows varying radiological features depending on the stage of activity and the site. The most common type is the honey comb or spongy appearance which is widespread.\nThanks for your hint !!

Parenchyma cells are the most abundant.  They are undifferentiated and fill the spaces between more specialized tissues, and are involved in wound healing.

Pseudo tumor is not a big deal in the long term.  You will get headaches and sometimes blurry vision but you will get better and live a happy life.  Remember it is good to exercise, take long walks and lose about 10 pounds.

My sister and I grow these things that sound like what you are describing.  They are polyps.  You should see a doctor to have them checked.  I just noticed that I have one just like that in the same place.  I've got an appointment with her doctor and he will probably do a biopsy to see if it is something dangerous.  But I certain it will just be a polyp. Some women just grow them.  Don't worry, but you should talk to a doctor to be certain.  Good luck!

the pseudohyphae are short and linear, septate are branched out in 1 or 2 axial branches.  GFE!
