Fibropapilloma

Fibropapillomas are a benign tumor caused by the human papillomavirus. Formations of this type are found mainly in children and young people from 5 to 20 years old. They can be either isolated or multiple. The compaction, which serves as a predisposing factor for the development of fibropapilloma, is, in a way, a “place” for it. That's why it is called "another place." Pinpoint ulceration is a fairly characteristic sign. First, a bubble forms on the fibropapilloma, then the bubble bursts, and the fibropapilla itself becomes a club-shaped consistency, a dense growth gradually grows and with a long course of the disease it becomes covered with horny scales, which together resembles cauliflower. If the affected areas are on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, they can be felt: they have a dense consistency (another rare symptom occurs in fibropapillomatosis - palpation in the area of ​​the vertebral body with passive straightening in the elbow joint), painful when palpated, especially if they have a mushroom shape or bleed . Fibropapiloma can have different sizes - from small to a bunch of grapes. They are treated by surgical removal of the tumor and ultraviolet irradiation of the oral cavity. However, it should be noted that the prognosis for fibropapillomas is favorable, and the life of patients with this diagnosis depends on the location and size of fibropapillomas. It should also be noted that fibropapiliomas are potentially malignant. A timely biopsy will help determine treatment tactics, and in most cases, avoid relapses. However, under no circumstances self-medicate fibropapilloma, because only an experienced specialist can prescribe qualified treatment
