Unless it is malignant it shouldn't be a problem, but you should ask your doctor. If it does need to be removed it's only a quick out-patient procedure.  (+ info)

I fibroma a factor of risk for the cancer?


I would like to know the two numbers. How frequently the fibroma happens (I mean how many percentage of women have fibroma). I need just an approximate number. The second thing I would like to know is how frequently a fibroma cause a breast cancer. Does fibroma increase the risk to get the breast cancer and if yes, how significantly (numbers are very welcomed).
----------

Fibromas are very common in both females and males. There is no way of knowing the number of women or the percentage that have them. Fibromas are never the cause of breast cancer and they do not increase the risk of having breast cancer.  (+ info)

What is the best option for Ossifying Fibroma, Total Resection Surgery or Conservative Surgery?


Ossifying Fibroma is a benign tumour located in mandible (jaw) area. My wife has this on his right mandible and so far no surgery has been done yet, but the tumour is growing however not aggressively. We are searching for the best option for her. I'm really not resolved about doing any surgery as I have read some of the negative effects on people of same illness after surgery though some were successful.
----------

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.

good luck

Does ultrasound can detect fibroma?


I has been told that the ultrasound investigation of the breast has detected a fibroma. Is that possible? I mean that fibroma, by definition, is a benign tumor and without biopsy we cannot say if it is a "benign tumor" or not. So, the next necessary step (after ultrasound) is biopsy/ Am I right?
----------

They may want to do a biopsy to determine if its benign or malignant.... or they may just book for surgery, remove the mass then do a biopsy to check it. If then it comes back as malignant, they will follow up with more tests and chemo and or radiation therapy.  (+ info)

tell them you don't have insurance and ask them what the price is if you pay cash.I have found as a person without health insurance that it's usually about a 50% reduction in price or half of the cost if you had insurance.Don't forget to ask about hidden fees such as the anthesiologists fee, surgery room fee and recovery room fee if there are any.  (+ info)

What is Fibroma? Is it dangerious?


My father is having a swelling under his ribs. We consulted doctor, he said that it is "Fibroma". I am very much scared of it.

Hello,

A fibroma is an over-growth of scar tissue, also called "fibrous tissue," hence the name. It is a benign and harmless growth, and only needs removal if it is troublesome, or getting bigger, or is suspicious in some other way.

The cancerous equivalent of a common fibroma, is called a "fibro-sarcoma," but they are rare. It is nearly always cancerous right from the start, i.e. it does not tend to develop from a simple fibroma.

That word fibroma, is formed in the English language by sticking the suffix, "-oma," onto the end of the word "fibrous," to mean "a swelling of," = fibroma.

This language device works just as well, to name all sorts of other growths, - not all cancerous,- for instance, -

lipoma, - a benign tumor of fat.
seminoma, - a tumor of a man's testicle.
oligo-dendrocyt-oma, - a tumor of the brain.
haematoma, - the medical name for a collection of blood (a bruise).
tuberculoma, - an infected lump caused by tuberculosis, often in the lungs.

I hope this is of some help.

Best wishes,
