Leg fibroma

Legs are a very important part of the human body structure, because people's daily walking, running or jumping are all achieved through the legs. However, the legs are prone to a type of tumor called fibroma, which can cause serious damage to the legs. Sometimes, severe cases may even require amputation to achieve a complete cure. So what should you do if you find that you have fibroids in your legs?

1. What should I do if leg fibroma recurs?

It is recommended to continue observing. Only surgical removal is effective. Now there is a recurrence. If the tumor is large and compresses blood vessels or nerves, it can only be removed surgically again. There is no other way. From the situation you described above, this is multiple fibroma. Fibroma is a benign tumor and medication and other conservative treatments will not have much effect.

2. I have a fibroma on my thigh for 20 years. Will it turn into cancer?

There is a fibroma on your thigh. Generally, fibroma rarely turns into cancer. Moreover, you have had it for 20 years without it turning into cancer, so the possibility of cancer is very small and you don't need to worry. However, having fibroma in the thigh will affect your normal life and cause discomfort, so it is best to treat it through surgical removal as soon as possible. Although it will not lead to cancer, it can easily cause other lesions, so it is best to treat it as soon as possible.

3. What is fibroid?

Fibroma is a benign tumor derived from fibrous connective tissue. There are different types of fibroma due to the different components contained in it. Because fibrous connective tissue is widely distributed in the human body and constitutes the gaps between various organs, fibroma can occur anywhere in the body. The most common sites are the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and can also occur in the fascia, periosteum, nasopharynx and other mucosal tissues, as well as other organs such as breast, ovary, and kidney. They vary in size and grow slowly.

4. Treatment of fibroids

Fibroids should be removed surgically at an early stage, and the surrounding connected tissues should be removed appropriately. Desmoid tumors should be removed extensively at an early stage. After surgery, the tumor should be sent for pathological examination to rule out malignancy, and generally no medication is required. The main treatment is wide surgical resection. Radiotherapy and hormone application can inhibit tumor growth in individual cases, but it is generally believed that they cannot be used as the main treatment method. They can be used as palliative treatment for those who cannot undergo surgery.
