Analysis of the theory of fibroid inheritance

Fibroids are a very common disease in daily life. Most fibroids are benign, but a small part is malignant. Only through professional excision and testing can the extent of their deterioration be determined. Generally, once parents have fibroids, they are also worried that their children will inherit the disease. So let's analyze the theory of fibroid inheritance!

Fibroids are hereditary. Generally speaking, although fibroids are benign, they may become malignant. Therefore, once discovered, they should be surgically removed. The removed tumor must be routinely examined for pathology to rule out the possibility of malignant lesions. In addition, the recurrence rate of fibroids is relatively high. It is recommended to use Chinese medicine after surgery to improve immunity, effectively control the progression of the disease, and achieve complete recovery.

Fibroids are a relatively common benign tumor of well-differentiated fibrous connective tissue. They are more common in young people. They are solitary, most of them are millimeters to several centimeters, and painless. They are often found accidentally, hard, with clear boundaries, movable, and slow growth. They can occur in subcutaneous tissues of all parts of the body. For example, tumors that grow in the breasts of young women and are mainly glandular are called fibroadenomas, and tumors that grow in muscles with muscle tissue are called fibromyomas. When they appear multiple times, they are called tumor-like lesions, which are called fibromatosis. For example, congenital systemic fibromatosis is "benign" in morphology, and new lesions that appear in important organs can also lead to death. If they grow in the compressed area of ​​the sacrum, they will grow rapidly, erode, ulcerate, bleed, and become malignant. Desmoid fibroids (ligament-like tumors) that grow in the rectus abdominis of the abdominal wall, neck, trunk, and limbs are more common in women. If radical resection is not performed, they are very likely to recur, but they do not metastasize, so they are called borderline tumors. If not controlled in time, it may turn into multiple fibromas. Fibroids are often found under the skin, grow slowly, are generally small, have clear edges, smooth surfaces, and are hard and can be pushed. If mixed with other components, they become fibromyomas, fibroadenomas, fibrolipomas, etc. Fibroids, especially desmoids in the abdominal wall muscles, can become malignant and should be completely removed as soon as possible.

There are several types of fibroids:

Xanthofibroma

It is common in the dermis or subcutaneous layer of the trunk and proximal upper arm. It often arises from small papules after trauma or itching. The lumps are hard with unclear edges. Because they are accompanied by 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 fibrosarcoma and must be completely removed surgically.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Located in the dermis, protruding from the body surface, with smooth surface skin, shaped like keloid, it is prone to occur on the trunk, is of low grade malignancy, has a pseudocapsule, is prone to recurrence after resection, and multiple recurrences increase the malignancy. It can metastasize through the bloodstream, and the tumor lesions containing enough normal skin and deep adjacent fascia should be removed as soon as possible.

zona fibroma

The abdominal wall muscles are formed by reparative hyperplasia after trauma or birth injury, have no obvious capsule, and are suitable for surgical removal.

Fibroids are somewhat hereditary, so I hope everyone will pay attention to them and actively treat them.
