Many-sided sarcoma: symptoms and varieties

Sarcoma is an oncological disease related toto a group of malignant tumors that are difficult to treat due to some peculiarities. The reason for this is the infiltrating growth of tumor tissues, which destroys nearby healthy cells, frequent relapses of the disease, and the tendency to rapid formation of metastases.

Sarcoma: the symptoms and species

The disease develops almost asymptomatically,To distinguish its manifestations from the clinical picture of other ailments, not even a tumor character, is very difficult. The sarcomas are classified according to the type of affected tissue:

• soft tissue sarcoma;
• sarcoma of bones;
• complex types of sarcoma that can not be classified, for example, Kaposi's sarcoma.

Each of the above types of disease, in turn, is subdivided into subspecies.

Soft tissue sarcoma:

• rhabdomyosarcoma;
• liposarcoma;
• angiosarcoma;
• neurogenic;
• myogenic;
• synovial sarcoma.

Symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma

The behavior of the disease largely depends on the location of its localization. For example, sarcoma of lung symptoms has the following:

• pleurisy;
• dyspnea;
• dysphagia;
• joint pain;
• poorly treatable pneumonia;
• thickening of the bones of the extremities.

If we talk about the common signs of this disease, then among them we can especially distinguish:

• infiltrative spots and seals of various locations (most often on the limbs);
• deformation of various parts of the body, depending on the degree and localization of the disease;
• pain in the tissues affected by the tumor.

Bone sarcoma: symptoms and types

Types of sarcoma of bones:

• osteosarcoma;
• fibrosarcoma;
• chondrosarcoma;
• circola-cell sarcoma;
• Ewing's sarcoma.

A vivid example of a clinical picture of sarcoma of bonescan serve as a sarcoma of the spine, the symptoms of which differ little from the signs of other malignant tumors: local pain sensations, rapid growth of education, limitation of mobility, neurological disorders. Despite the fact that this disease affects the most diverse parts of the skeleton, there are a number of common signs that allow doctors to assume that the patient has a sarcoma.

Symptoms of sarcoma of bones:

• pain in the site of localization, which is often mistaken for the consequence of mechanical trauma;
• increase in the temperature of the skin in the place of injury;
• soreness, which occurs when the palpation of the node;
• some enlargement and expansion of veins in the infiltration area;
• general weakness and malaise caused by sleep disturbance due to persistent pain;
• swelling of the integument;
• frequent fractures.

Kaposi's sarcoma and its symptoms

Disease of a complex type is often the result of exposure to the body of HIV infection and the herpes virus.

Symptoms of Kaposi's sarcoma:

• tingling and mild itching in affected areas;
• tumor formation covering the back surface of feet and soles (smooth or rough round spots of violet color);
• damage to the skin of hands and face;
• internal bleeding (in the case when internal organs suffer from the disease).
