Reasons
- The cause of the development of neoplasms currently remains unclear. It is assumed that genetic defects, which can be inherited, as well as the impact of unfavorable environmental factors, play a certain role in the development of tumors.
- For many people, the cause remains unknown.
Symptoms and signs of the disease change and progress as the tumor grows. The most common symptoms are:
- Pain localized at the site of tumor growth. May occur at rest, lying down, during sleep. Not associated with physical activity or other diseases

Diagnostics
- MRI with contrast
