Embryonic fibroma is a malignant tumor from the integumentary tissues of the fetus, which develops in the umbilical cord. It belongs to organ-specific tumors, has a liminal degree of differentiation, is prone to recurrence and spread throughout the human body, metastasis. Distributed among children from 5 to 7 years old at a level of 2%.
Formed tumors are called fibromas, which are of two types: tumor and non-tumor, or functional. Tumor fibromas grow into the placental tissue and acquire a spongy structure with an epithelial lining; non-tumor fibromas are located as submucosal formations under the umbilical cord with spread into the abdominal cavity through a defect in the chorionic membrane with heterogeneous fibrous inclusions, i.e. These are dense and hard formations.
Provoking factors may be various abdominal injuries and congenital pathologies of the umbilical cord. The development of this tumor can be facilitated by urinary tract infection and hypotrophy of the umbilical vessels in most cases. Most often, fibromas are single formations; multiple ones are rarely observed.
