A tumor that invades and destroys part of a previously existing tumor.

Examples

“Clinically, hypertumors could be related to several paradoxical classes of tumors which, despite showing an aggressive histology, tend⟳ to spontaneously regress, such as some cases of neuroblastoma.”

“In particular, one will recognize a hypertumor not just as regions of nutrient deficiency but as regions of nutrient deficency that always correlate with invading cells displaying cytological or genetic features of aggressive proliferation.”

“They argue⟳ that tumors must be drastically larger in larger animals to be lethal, giving the hypertumor more time to grow⟳ and force⟳ the parent tumor to become⟳ necrotic.”

“According to the hypertumor hypothesis, as tumors grow⟳ larger, younger malignant cells take⟳ over their parents and outstrip them of their blood supply⟳, resulting in tumor ischemic necrosis.”
