What causes fibroids

Fibromatosis is mostly found under the skin, and grows slowly. It is usually small, hard, with clear edges and smooth surface. Fibromatosis is mainly formed due to connective tissue, mostly occurs in adults aged 40-50, and the growth of the tumor is relatively slow. However, if it is not treated for a long time after being discovered, it may lead to complications such as fibroadenoma, fibromyoma and fibrofat. So, what causes fibroma?

1. Xanthofibroma

It is common in the dermis or subcutaneous layer of the trunk and upper arm. It often originates from small papules after trauma or itching. The lumps are hard and have unclear edges. They are accompanied by internal bleeding, 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 surgical resection must be complete. It is recommended to combine surgery with Chinese medicine treatment to control the progression of the disease.

2. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Located in the dermis, protruding from the body surface, with smooth surface skin, shaped like keloid, often occurs on the trunk, low-grade malignancy, with pseudocapsule, prone to recurrence after resection, multiple recurrences increase malignancy, and can metastasize through the blood. The tumor lesion with enough normal skin and deep adjacent fascia should be removed as soon as possible. It is recommended to combine surgery with Chinese medicine treatment to control the progression of the disease.

3. Zygomatic fibroma

The abdominal wall muscles are formed by reparative hyperplasia after trauma or birth injury, and have no obvious capsule, so they should be surgically removed. It is recommended to combine surgery with Chinese medicine treatment to control the progression of the disease.

Clinical manifestations: The tumor is located in deep tissues, with no obvious subjective symptoms or slight discomfort. It grows slowly. It is irregular or oval in shape, with its long diameter consistent with the direction of the affected muscle fibers. The size of the tumor is related to the duration of the disease, and the diameter ranges from several centimeters to more than ten centimeters. The tumor has unclear boundaries, a smooth surface, no tenderness, and is tough like rubber. It is relatively fixed longitudinally to the invaded muscle, but can move slightly laterally, and has no adhesion to the skin. Huge tumors can affect movement and compress nerves.
