Benign tracheal tumor symptoms?

summary

Benign tumor of bronchus and lung refers to benign tumor growing in trachea, bronchus and lung parenchyma. Hamartoma is rare, but it has many kinds. It can originate from any type of cells in lung and bronchus. Let's share my experience with you.

Benign tracheal tumor symptoms?

Most of them have no clinical symptoms and signs and are often found in X-ray examination. Benign tumor can have symptoms: cough, hoarseness, pulmonary infection and hemoptysis. The size and location of peripheral benign tumors determine their manifestations. More than 60% of them are asymptomatic. They are only found by chance during physical examination, and nearly 90% of them have no relevant physical signs. A small number of patients may have cough, nonspecific chest pain, chest tightness, bloody sputum, fatigue and other symptoms due to the large tumor pressing the adjacent bronchus or other unknown reasons.

The size and activity of central benign tumor determine its performance. Most patients have obvious symptoms and signs. Most of the smaller tracheobronchial tumors were asymptomatic. In larger tumors, wheezing can be heard due to incomplete obstruction of the trachea.

When most or all of the tumors block the respiratory tract, the clearance of endobronchial secretions is limited, which can lead to repeated episodes of pneumonia, bronchitis, lung abscess, etc. at the same time, the limited ventilation leads to distal atelectasis or emphysema, which is characterized by cough, expectoration, chest pain, fever, wheezing, and even hemoptysis.

matters needing attention

Although benign lung tumor belongs to benign disease, it is difficult to differentiate from early lung malignant tumor. Benign lesions may be malignant; Benign lesions may be accompanied by malignant lesions (28% of pulmonary hamartomas are accompanied by primary malignant tumors). Therefore, it is very important to distinguish benign and malignant lung tumors accurately. At present, active minimally invasive surgery is the best method for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral benign lung tumors.
