In the inflammatory conglomerate tumor is a bond or adhesion of various organs or organ parts (eg. Dick - or small intestine , fallopian tubes or large network ). During the physical examination, these adhesions can be felt in the abdomen ( "palpable roller" ).
In radiology , a central bronchial carcinoma that is visible on an X-ray is called a conglomerate tumor . This then consists of the hilar tumor and the metastases in the neighboring lymph nodes.
Pathology of inflammatory conglomerate tumors
The inflammatory conglomerate tumor is caused by inflammation that penetrates the entire intestinal wall. The resulting abscesses or fistulas can lead to neighboring sections of the intestine, peritoneum (peritoneum) or the skin.
Inflammatory conglomerate tumors are most common in Crohn's disease , as in this disease, unlike ulcerative colitis, the entire intestinal wall is affected. Other possibilities for the development of a conglomerate tumor can be intestinal tuberculosis , which is rare today, or fallopian tube inflammation caused by gonococci , among other things .
