Universal Angiomatosis
Universal Angiomatosis (pronounced: yoo-ni-ver-sal an-gee-o-ma-toe-sis) is a rare medical condition characterized by the widespread development of angiomas, which are benign tumors derived from blood vessels or lymph vessels. The term is derived from the Latin universus meaning "all" and the Greek angio meaning "vessel" and -matosis meaning "condition of".
Symptoms
The symptoms of Universal Angiomatosis can vary greatly depending on the location and size of the angiomas. Common symptoms may include skin lesions, bleeding, and organ dysfunction.
Causes
The exact cause of Universal Angiomatosis is currently unknown. However, it is believed to be associated with genetic mutations and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Universal Angiomatosis typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination, followed by imaging studies such as MRI or CT scan. A biopsy of the angioma may also be performed for histological confirmation.
Treatment
Treatment for Universal Angiomatosis is largely symptomatic and may include surgical removal of the angiomas, laser therapy, or medication to control symptoms.
Prognosis
The prognosis for individuals with Universal Angiomatosis varies depending on the severity and location of the angiomas. Some individuals may experience a normal lifespan with few complications, while others may experience significant morbidity and mortality.
