Dabska tumor
Dabska tumor (also known as Dabska's tumor or Endovascular papillary angioendothelioma) is a rare form of cancer that primarily affects the skin and blood vessels. It was first described by Maria Dabska in 1969 and is therefore named after her.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Dabska tumor is a rare, low-grade malignant vascular neoplasm that was originally described in children, but has also been found in adults. The tumor is characterized by an endothelial cell proliferation with a papillary architecture. It is considered a borderline or low-grade angiosarcoma.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The most common symptom of Dabska tumor is a painless, slow-growing nodule or mass. The tumor is often found on the skin, but can also occur in other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes, bones, and lungs.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of Dabska tumor is often challenging due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. It is usually confirmed through a biopsy, where a small sample of the tumor is removed and examined under a microscope.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for Dabska tumor typically involves surgical removal of the tumor. In some cases, radiation therapy or chemotherapy may also be used.
Prognosis[edit | edit source]
The prognosis for Dabska tumor varies depending on the location and size of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. While the tumor is slow-growing, it can spread to other parts of the body.
