Is the protruding forehead bone like a horn a fibroma?

If the forehead bone protrudes like a horn, it is most likely caused by a fibroma. The first thing to understand is whether the patient has some obvious symptoms of discomfort. If not, you don't have to worry about it for the time being. It may also be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. Of course, if it is acquired, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and you can also perform an intracranial CT scan. Generally, as long as it does not affect the body, you can temporarily do without treatment. If it is caused by a fibroma or cyst, this may be a protrusion caused by the proliferation of subcutaneous tissue. You can perform an ultrasound examination and then surgical removal.

What are fibroids?

1. It is a common benign tumor of well-differentiated fibrous connective tissue. It is more common in young people, solitary, most of which are millimeters to several centimeters and painless. It is often discovered accidentally, is hard, has clear boundaries, is movable, and grows slowly. It can occur in the subcutaneous tissue of various parts of the body. For example, a tumor that grows in the breast of a young woman and is mainly glandular is called a fibroadenoma, and a tumor that grows in the muscle and has muscle tissue is called a fibromyoma. When it occurs multiple times, it is called a tumor-like lesion, which is called fibromatosis.

2. For example, in congenital systemic fibromatosis, although it is "benign" in morphology, the appearance of new lesions on important organs may also lead to death. If they grow on the compressed areas of the sacrum, they will quickly grow, erode, ulcerate, bleed and become malignant. Desmoplastic fibroids (ligamentous tumors) that grow on the abdominal wall rectus abdominis, neck, trunk, and limbs are more common in women. If radical resection is not performed, it is very likely to recur, but it does not metastasize, so it is called a borderline tumor.
