Cartilage tumor epidemic

Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease overview

Diseases Synovial osteochondromatosis) is a benign abnormal type of epidemic bags in which linked cells capable of creating cartilage. In the joints, small cartilage blocks grow on the surface, then develop stalks and become tumors, these tumors are sclerosis and are called cartilage tumors, some falls into the joints and becomes heterosexuals. joints, the appearance of the objects in the joints will affect the movement of the joints and cause symptoms such as pain, limiting movement by mechanism of mechanism, epidemic inflammation that causes joint spill and often progresses. Grow gradually increasing.

Cartiliary cartilage is common in the knee joint, also known as knee cartilage cartilage accounts for 50%-60%, then other joints such as groin and shoulder joints , elbow joints, ankle joints.

This is a benign disease, but it should be monitored and treated promptly due to treatment that cannot eliminate the cause of the disease and to avoid severe complications in the joints.

Causes of Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease

Causes of epidemic cartilage tumors are divided into two main groups:

  • Primary Synovial Osteochondromatosis): about 30-50 years old, unknown cause.

    • Secondary (Secondary Synovial Osteochondromatosis): encountered in people with a history of joint diseases: such as osteoarthritis, tuberculosis arthritis, peeled cartilage, fracture of the bone tip in the joint, Cartilage rupture

    Symptoms of Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease

    The manifestation of epidemic cartilage tumors may vary depending on the stage of the disease as well as the position of the disease. The general symptoms of the disease include:

  • joint pain: The degree of joint pain increases depending on the position of the cartilage tumor, or cases that fall into the joint can cause acute joint pain.

    • Jamming: is a common sign, the patient feels like something inserted in the joints.

  • Reducing joint mobility: usually appears later or at the same time with signs of joint jam then increases gradually if not treated.

    • There are tumors, lumps around joints, hard, mobile or not.

    joint effusion: often rare, swollen joints depend on the number of fluids most common in the knee joint.

  • Expression of arthritis.

    • People at risk for Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease

  • Age: Common in adults from 30 to 40 years old.
    • gender: The disease is more common in men in women, the disease rate is 2: 1.
  • There is a history of injury at joints.

    • There are joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, tuberculosis arthritis.

    Prevention of Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease

    Cartoon cartilage tumors are not always able to prevent in many cases of primary disease. However, some of the following methods can be taken to help reduce the risk of disease:

  • Ensure safety in labor and daily life to avoid joint injuries. Attention should be paid to the micro -injuries due to the exercise repeated a movement too much or performing the movements of the joints.
  • Monitoring and promptly treating diseases in joints.
  • Enhancing sports exercise: Gentle joint exercise, regularly can help increase the endurance of the joint. Swimming is a suitable sport because it helps to eliminate gravity.

    • Ensure a diet full of nutrients, especially calcium and minerals.

    Diagnostic measures for Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease

    Diagnosis of interlaced cartilage cartilage previously relying on clinical examination and X-ray images, however, the early stage is difficult to detect the disease caused by cartilage tumors that have not yet deposited calcium to create contrast. Some authors mention the role of anatomy as a gold standard to confirm the diagnosis, which is the image of the epidemic film covering the objects in the joints, proving the origin of the epidemic membrane of the heterosexuals. joints.  

    Currently, with the development of imaging means such as computer -layer cutting, magnetic resonance imaging, especially joint endoscopy, the diagnosis is easier. The value of these methods, in addition to diagnosing cartilage tumors in joints, the number of tumors, also diagnosed the lesions of the epidemic membrane, cartilage, other ingredients in the joint, thereby indicating treatment Suitable.

    Clinical examination

  • Systemic signs often do not change.
  • Examination of joint blocks.
  • Discovering joint spill

    • Subclinical methods

  • Peripheral blood cell test and biochemical test: usually have normal results.
  • X -ray characteristics: Characteristics of regular X -ray (millgrams, 1997): thickness and synovial membrane, calcium nodules in and around the circular or oval joints, not narrow, not narrow joints, Bone density at normal joints. Cartilage tumors can only be detected on X -ray in phase 2, when the calcium nodules appear.
  • Computerized tomography: Calcium nodules of boundary, joint images.
  • Magnetic resonance (MRI): In addition to images such as computerized tomography can also be observed: thick epidemic membranes, free to reduce signal at T1, increase credit Brand T2. If calcified a lot: reducing T1 or T1 and T2 signals.

    • Methods of endoscopy: indicated when evidence is still uncertain, for the purpose of determining and combining treatment. In addition, through the joint endoscopy can combine the epidemic biopsy, cartilage organization, articular cartilage to test the pathology for diagnosis.

    Pathological tissue: General image: Because cartilage is nourished by the fluid's fluid, cartilage tumors can grow and increase in size. The cartilage tumors in the joints, synovial bags or tendons usually have the same shape and size (vary from a few mm to a few centimeters). If the cohesion of many cartilage tumors can create a large cartilage shape (the shape of a rock). About microscopic: taking photos under the microscopic microscopy shows the image of increasing the activity of the epidemic membrane, seeing many two -core cells, crowded.

    Cartilage tumor epidemic's disease treatments

    Principle of treatment:

  • Analgesic, improving joint function.

    • avoid recurrence.

    Specific treatment

    Treatment of epidemic cartilage tumor can be used as prescribed or used:

  • Endoscopy: It may have been diagnosed with strange objects or cut each part of the damaged epidemic membrane (when there is epidemic inflammation). Endoscopic method is used when the size of cartilage tumor is less than 2 cm.
  • Surgical indications: In the case of late patients, cartilage organizations develop a lot or too big, there will be indications for removal of cartilage tumors and epidemic membranes. Open surgery.
