How harmful are fibroids?

Many people are familiar with fibroids, but they don't know much about them. Many patients don't know the harm of fibroids. They just listen to the doctor, but they are actually confused and at a loss. So how big are the harms of fibroids? Now let's answer it for you!

According to the age of onset and the affected parts, it is divided into:

1. Juvenile fibromatosis. Occurs in children and young people.

2. Cervical fibromatosis. This refers to a type of fibromatosis that manifests at birth or shortly after birth and involves the lower 1/3 of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, sometimes bilaterally. Cervical fibromatosis is often accompanied by various congenital abnormalities.

3. Infant and young children's digital fibromatosis. This is a type of fibromatosis that usually occurs only in childhood. It typically occurs on the outer side of the finger (toe) end, but can also occur in other parts of the body, such as the mouth and breast. This disease is often multiple and usually occurs at birth or within 2 years of age.

4. Infantile myofibromatosis. It is a solitary or multiple nodular lesion that occurs in the skin, soft tissue or bone. It can be limited to the above-mentioned parts or accompanied by the involvement of internal organs. The disease mostly occurs before the age of 2, and about 60% is congenital. This disease can also be seen in adults. Single cases are more common in males, while multiple cases are more common in females. Familial cases are known, and evidence of autosomal dominant inheritance has been found.

5. Lipofibromatosis. It is a subtype of infantile fibromatosis, and local recurrence is common.

6. Multiple hyaline fibromatosis. It is a morphologically special, familial multiple fibromatosis affecting children. It has no symptoms at birth and may be caused by congenital metabolic abnormalities.

7. Others. Penile fibromatosis, palmar fibromatosis, plantar fibromatosis, scar fibromatosis and post-irradiation fibromatosis, fibromatosis associated with multiple colon polyposis and occasionally multiple osteomas are called Gardner syndrome.
