Fibroma (Fibroma, Pl. Fibromas or Fibromata)

Fibroma is a benign tumor that develops from connective tissue. This is the most common type of tumor and is found throughout the body.

Fibroids are composed of fibroblasts and collagen fibers. They can grow both on the surface of the skin and in internal organs. Cutaneous fibroids usually appear as small, painless, pinkish-white nodules. Internal fibroids are usually diagnosed incidentally during examination for another reason.

Fibroids usually grow slowly and they rarely exceed a few centimeters in diameter. Fibroids are considered benign tumors because they do not have the ability to grow invasively and metastasize.

Treatment for fibroids involves surgical excision. Indications for surgery are cosmetic problems that bother the patient, pain or limited mobility when the tumor is localized on the extremities. Recurrence of fibroids after removal is rare.

Fibroids are soft tumors that form from connective tissue. They can be located on any part of the body, including the head, neck, chest, abdomen and limbs. Depending on their location, fibroids can cause a variety of symptoms, such as tenderness, swelling, redness and warmth. In addition, if the tumor is located in close proximity to the skin, it may be visually noticeable. Fibroids often occur in middle-aged and older people, but can also appear at any age.

Fibroids occur due to impaired regeneration of connective tissue. This can occur as a genetically determined disease, or be a consequence of injury, illness, or excessive use of hormonal drugs. Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include age, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, thyroid disease and hepatitis C.

Treatment for fibroids depends on its size and location. Typically, doctors prescribe conservative treatment, including topical medications to reduce tenderness, heat, and swelling, as well as anti-inflammatory medications and tissue repair medications. If the fibroid does not go away, surgery may be required. There are several types of surgeries to remove fibroids, including minimally invasive procedures using a laser, excision with a scalpel, or the use of thermal energy. However, it should be borne in mind that some treatment methods may lead to the appearance of new fibroids at the site of the removed formation.

In general, it is necessary to understand that fibroids are benign tumors, and with timely treatment, many patients can avoid serious complications. It is important to consult a doctor at the first signs of the appearance of fibroids and monitor your condition after tumor removal to prevent relapses.
