Fibromatoid [Fibromatoidum; Fibroma (Fibromat Base) + Greek. -Eides Similar]

Fibromatoid [fibromatoidum; fibroma (base fibromat) + Greek. -eides are similar] - this is a small island of healthy skin that protrudes freely above the scar formed due to collicative tuberculosis of the skin. A fibromatoid is an area of ​​normal skin preserved among tissues affected by colliquative tuberculosis.

In the colliquative form of skin tuberculosis, disintegration and necrosis of the affected areas occurs, followed by scarring. However, sometimes small islands of intact skin remain among the destroyed tissue. These areas are called fibromatoids.

Fibromatoid has a normal skin structure that differs from the structure of scar tissue. In this case, the fibromatoid is often raised above the level of the scar and protrudes above it. Thus, the presence of fibromatoids can be used to judge whether a patient has suffered collicative tuberculosis of the skin in the past.

A fibromatoid scar is a small, blind skin depression in the dermis of healthy skin that protrudes above adjacent infected tissue or scarring.

The appearance of fibromatoid scars is associated with damage and disruption of the collagen matrix during inflammatory processes in the dermal layers of the skin, such as focal infection or tuberculous uveitis. Localization of the inflammatory focus and corresponding localization of fibromatoids are observed in patients with street skin problems and scarring in the mouth (cochlea). Patients with isolated "street" fibromatoid scars often exhibit specific facial features with the orbital aspect being the most prominent aspect. Foci of active inflammation, such as dilated capillaries and closed ulcers, become widespread in healthy skin over the developing fibromatoids.

Unfortunately, there is no consensus on the optimal approach to treating fibroids, but eliminating the infectious focus reduces the likelihood of further scarring, and rapid
