How to treat multiple chondroma?

summary

Osteochondroma is a kind of disease that often occurs in children. Sometimes children do not pay attention to the body, so it is easier to get bone hyperplasia. My cousin was about 12 years old when he was found with a bone protruding from his shoulder blade. Take him to see a doctor, the doctor gave him an examination, said it was multiple chondroma, later after surgery, no much damage. Let me share with you now.

How to treat multiple chondroma?

First: osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor in children, usually located in the metaphyseal side of the bone cortex, to the bone surface growth, also known as exostosis. This disease can be divided into single and multiple, the latter has genetic tendency, and affects the development of epiphysis or limb deformity, known as multiple hereditary osteochondromatosis, or diaphyseal sequelae. The lesions were located in the metaphysis. Distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus were the most common. Clinically, osteochondroma has no pain or tenderness, and produces corresponding symptoms when nerve is compressed.

Second, the only effective treatment for osteochondroma is surgical resection. In the past, it was considered that the growth of the tumor would stop with the epiphyseal plate closed, and the malignant transformation rate was very low (0.5% - 1% for single tumors and about 2% for multiple tumors). Local pain, obstruction of joint activity or compression of blood vessels, nerves and organs were the indications for surgical resection.

Third: because this kind of tumor will automatically stop growing in adulthood, the doctor asked my cousin to keep an optimistic attitude, avoid contact with harmful substances in life, strengthen physical exercise, eat a balanced diet, avoid tobacco, alcohol and other carcinogenic foods, strengthen the function of the immune system, and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Otherwise, it is likely to deteriorate into a malignant tumor.
