Endoteelimassoissa

Endoteelimassoissa, often referred to as endothelial masses, are abnormal accumulations of endothelial cells. Endothelial cells form the inner lining of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. When these cells proliferate excessively or form disorganized structures, they can create mass-like lesions. These masses can arise in various locations, depending on the underlying cause.

The development of endoteelimassoissa can be linked to several conditions. Benign conditions may include reactive hyperplasia, where endothelial cells increase in response to injury or inflammation. More concerning causes involve neoplastic processes, such as certain types of vascular tumors. Angiomas, for instance, are benign vascular malformations composed of an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. However, some endothelial masses can be malignant, like angiosarcomas, which are aggressive cancers originating from endothelial cells.

Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to visualize the mass. A definitive diagnosis often requires a biopsy and histological examination to determine the cellular composition and grade of the lesion. Treatment strategies vary widely depending on whether the mass is benign or malignant, its size, location, and the patient's overall health. Options can range from observation for small, asymptomatic benign lesions to surgical removal or more aggressive therapies like radiation or chemotherapy for malignant tumors.
