does anyone know what a cardoma tumor is?
602926
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.

Benign tumors are noncancerous. Most are asymptomatic, are discovered incidentally, and are not immediately life threatening. \n\nTypes include Renal adenomas, Renal Oncocytoma, Angiomyolipoma, Fibroma, Lipoma, which are ALL benign, or, of course, Renal Carcinoma.  You can read about each of these tumors at:  http://www.urologychannel.com/kidneycancer/benign.shtml\n\nRemember to be diligent about your follow up care.  Do the tests your doctors request and keep keep the lines of communication open with your health care providers.

Lipomas are really a mystery, even to the medical community. I, personally, have had over 200 of them removed and there has never been any rhyme or reason to their occurence. There is a really good website call LipomaForum that you can access and ask a lot of questions to others who are in the same situation. \nThey have links to see if your condition fits in with certain conditions such as Dercum's Disease, Madelung's Disease, Familial Lipomatosis, etc. Good Luck!!!

it depends on the originating tissue. An adenoma is a gland-derived tumor. If it's non-functional, it means it's not working as gland tissue, it just resebles it, so it has a high chance of being benign. But again, it depends on what tissue it originated form and how different its cells are form the original tissue. Fast replicating cells tend to look less like theoriginal cell because the grow in anarchy

Tumor get it removed.....I don't know you didn't give enough information that I can give advice for.

Maybe. A CT isn't always accurate, especially in locating how many tumors might be present. However, the doctor probably used the CT as a diagnostic tool to confirm what he suspected. So, it is not the CT but all the other facts put together that has made him come to this conclusion. \n\nThere are several types of benign liver tumors and perhaps your mother in law has all the symptoms that point towards one of them. You can read more about liver, tumors, and cancer on the American Cancer Society site:\n\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_2_1x_what_is_liver_cancer_25.asp\n\nYour other option, if you do not trust the diagnosis of this doctor, you can ask for a second or third opinion. Another doctor may have an entirely different outlook, so second opinions are a valid approach.\n\nGood luck.

Diseases of the myocardium\nThere has been increasing recognition of a type of heart disease characterized as primary myocardial disease. The cardiomyopathies are diseases involving the myocardium (heart muscle) itself. They are unique in that they are not the result of hypertensive, congenital, valvular, or pericardial diseases and are rarely the result of ischemic heart disease

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

I had 4 of them in my breast!! The doctor removed them, 3 little lumps a time and 1 years later. And after lab analysis they turned out to be fibroadenomas. Since then I occasionally have had lumps but they go away with medication. They're not malignant, but may grow too big and do harm. To avoid them I don't know what to do. Try and check yahoo! health, HTH!

Try this link. It appears to be a benign tumor-like growth, and depending on the area is usually a surgical removal. It is actually spelles neurofibroma. Good Luck!!http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/neurofibroma.htm

When I was small I had something similar. I don't know if this is the same. I had(have) something called a cavernous haemangioma, which is a BENIGN tumour of blood vessels which tend to bleed easily inside my right cheek. Its a nuisance but not serious. Hope you have the same as it's ok.

So far you have gotten 3 quack answers and one very good answer. If I had a difficult to treat carcinoid tumor then MD Anderson in Houston would be at the top of my list of medical centers at which I might seek treatment.\n\nhttp://www.mdanderson.org/diseases/carcinoid/\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic316.htm
