What is the difference between hamartoma and dysplasia?



Answers:
in hamartoma the tissues are run of the mill themselves but they arrange haphazardly. but dysplasia is the situation before cancer that may or may not develope into cancer but contained by this stage the cells are not everyday, they have neoplastic characteristics. u can check BASIC PATHOLOGY by ROBBINS.
hope this help.

hamartoma is a benign growth
dysplasia is out of the ordinary growth (the stage before neoplasia)

hamartoma does not convert to malignancy, dysplasia does
Hemartoma is a benign tumorlike defect resulting from faulty nouns in an organ and composed of an unusual mixture of tissue elements that develop and grow at the same rate as run of the mill elements but are not likely to compress near tissue.

------------------------------.
Dysplasia (latin for 'bad form') is an abnormality in the appearance of cell due to disturbances in the cell maturation process. This is indicative of an precipitate step towards transformation into a neoplasia. It is therefore a pre-neoplastic or pre-cancerous progress. This abnormal growth is restricted to the epithelial section, not invading into the deeper tissue. Though dysplasia may regress spontaneously, persistent lesion must be removed, either near surgery, chemical burning, heat burning, burning beside laser, or freezing (cryotherapy).
