A type of cancer that appears in the fatty tissue (omentum) that covers all organs in the abdominal area is called omentum cancer. This type of cancer occurs very rarely. Sometimes, people with ovarian or stomach cancer may also develop omentum cancer. It happens because the primary cancer spreads to the nearby tissue (omentum). While […]
A tumor that develops in the central nervous system and negatively affects the brain or spinal cord (rarely) is called an oligodendroglioma. It usually begins to develop in the glial cells (the supportive cells of the nervous system). In general, this is a treatable tumor even if it is malignant (cancerous). The cells where this […]
The tumors that begin to develop in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses are called nasal and paranasal tumors. These growths can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). While the primary treatment for these tumors is surgery, doctors may recommend radiation therapy or chemotherapy for people with malignant tumors. Check some examples of tumors below: […]
A medical condition that includes Cowden syndrome and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is known as PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS). In people with this syndrome, specific abnormal genes cause uncontrolled cell growth. That’s why it leads to benign (noncancerous) tumors, unusual skin growths, and an increased risk of cancer. In other words, PHTS refers to a […]
This is a rare type of cancer that develops in a layer of tissue lining the abdominal area (the peritoneum).

In general, histiocytes are an important part of the immune system […]
An aggressive and rate tumor that negatively affects babies and young children is called a rhabdoid tumor. It often affects the child’s kidneys (rhabdoid tumor of the kidney), soft tissues, and other organs (malignant rhabdoid tumors), or the central nervous system (atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors). In general, this type of cancer often spreads quickly, and […]
A type of cancer that begins in healthy penile cells is called penile cancer. In general, it occurs rarely in the United States, but you should see a doctor if you notice any changes in the penis. While localized penile cancer can be treated, if it spreads, it is often more difficult to treat. The […]
Rare germ cell tumors that often affect testicles and ovaries, causing cancer, are called yolk sac tumors (also known as endodermal sinus tumors). This type of cancer often occurs in children and sometimes may grow outside the reproductive system. For example, in the brain, chest, or abdomen. Healthcare professionals usually treat this cancer type with […]
A type of skin cancer that occurs due to overproduction of squamous cells in the epidermis (the top layer of the skin) is called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). People who are continuously exposed to the sun’s UV rays are at increased risk of developing this type of cancer. Usually, doctors recommend surgery to remove the […]
