A comprehensive analysis of the hazards of fibroids

Nowadays, there are still many patients suffering from fibroids in daily life. Most people have no idea about fibroids, and even think that fibroids are harmless to people. They don't take fibroids seriously and ignore them. But is fibroid really harmless to our body? Let's analyze the harm of fibroids!

Fibromas are composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. They are common in adults aged 40-50 years old. The tumor grows slowly. When the tumor develops to a certain extent, it generally stops growing. It is a benign tumor composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. It rarely becomes malignant. The treatment is mainly surgical resection. It is more common in the subcutaneous and grows slowly. It is generally small, with clear edges, smooth surface, hard texture, and can be pushed. If mixed with other components, it becomes fibromyoma, fibroadenoma, fibrolipoma, etc. According to the age and location of onset, it mainly includes juvenile fibromatosis, cervical fibromatosis, infantile fibromatosis, infantile myofibromatosis, lipofibromatosis, etc. The age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old, and it is also not uncommon in children and adolescents. Tumors can occur in large muscles in any part of the body, with the rectus abdominis of the abdominal wall and the aponeurosis of the adjacent muscles being the most common, and they are more common during pregnancy and late pregnancy. Those outside the abdominal wall are more common in men, and they are more common in the scapula, thigh and buttocks.

Fibroid hazards:

a: Xanthofibroma: It is common in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and upper arm. It often arises from small papules after trauma or itching. The lumps are hard with unclear edges. Because of internal bleeding, they contain hemosiderin and are dark brown. If the tumor is larger than 1 cm and grows rapidly, it should be suspected to be a fibrosarcoma and requires complete surgical removal.

b: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: located in the dermis, protruding from the body surface, with smooth surface skin, shaped like keloid, prone to occur on the trunk, low-grade malignancy, with pseudocapsule, prone to recurrence after resection, multiple recurrences increase malignancy, can metastasize through the blood, and the tumor focus containing enough normal skin and deep adjacent fascia should be removed as soon as possible.

c: Band-like fibroma: It is caused by the reparative hyperplasia of the abdominal wall muscles after trauma or birth injury. It has no obvious capsule and is suitable for surgical removal.

Key points for fibroid diagnosis:

1: They can be seen on various parts of the body in varying sizes, with a smooth surface or in the shape of a head, and can be observed freely.

2: Some with pedicles can also be seen, which can grow to several kilograms, are mostly loose and hanging, soft to the touch, and have pigmentation.

3: According to its tissue composition and properties, there are two special types: soft and hard. Soft fibroma, also known as skin tag, is often seen on the face, neck, chest and back. It has a pedicle, varies in size, is soft and elastic. Hard fibroma is more common in women aged 20-40 years old, and is more common in the abdominal wall. It is a hard, painless, non-mobile tumor with unclear boundaries from surrounding tissues. It grows slowly, has no capsule and grows in an infiltrative manner. It is easy to recur after removal and can become malignant.

4: Pathological sections can determine the nature of the tumor.

There are many types of fibroids, and their harmfulness cannot be ignored. If an adult develops a fibroid, I hope everyone will pay attention to it.
