Tumor calcification

Introduction Pathologically refers to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which is common in the early stages of bone growth, and is also seen in certain pathological conditions (such as calcification in tuberculous necrotic lesions of tuberculosis). In benign tumors originating from the liver, calcification of hepatic cavernous hemangioma is common, and the fibrous septa and small blood vessels separating the tumor can be calcified, and are spotted or strip-like.

Cause

The pathogenesis of tumor calcification remains unclear, and may be related to nutrient calcification, that is, tumors caused by hemorrhage or ischemic degeneration and necrosis, or the secretion of substances such as glycoproteins and sticky grains by the tumor itself, which leads to calcification. Alkaline phosphatase is elevated, and tumor calcification may accelerate the death of tumor cells.

Can be identified with calcification.

Calcification refers to the appearance of an organ with a strong echo or high-density image of calcium deposits measured on b-super or ct images. Commonly there are liver calcification, prostate calcification, renal calcification and so on.
