Malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of hypopharynx - what does this mean
Malignant neoplasm is a type of cancer that occurs when abnormal cells in the hypopharynx start to grow and divide uncontrollably. this causes an overlapping lesion, which is a cluster of abnormal cells that can spread to other areas of the body.
What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of hypopharynx
Malignant neoplasm of the hypopharynx is caused by the abnormal growth of cells which can spread to other parts of the body. this rapid and uncontrolled growth of cells is caused by an accumulation of genetic mutations which can be caused by environmental factors such as smoking and exposure to certain chemicals. these mutations cause the cells to divide and multiply at an uncontrolled rate, leading to the formation of a lesion. this lesion can spread to other parts of the body, leading to further complications and even death.
