Fibroadenoma of the breast; Phyllodes tumor of the breast; Sometimes fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) of the vulva may be misdiagnosed as cancers. However not much harm is caused because the treatment of both is excision. The consent for removal must however be completely informed. [2]
Subtypes of juvenile fibromatosis include: [3] Infantile myofibromatosis: solitary tumors commonly occurring in the head and neck regions; multiple tumors occurring in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and/or less commonly bones; or, rarely, tumors occurring in an internal organ(s). [4] Aponeurotic fibroma; Infantile digital fibromatosis
Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of a biplastic proliferation of both stromal and epithelial components. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] This biplasia can be arranged in two growth patterns: pericanalicular (stromal proliferation around epithelial structures) and intracanalicular (stromal proliferation compressing the epithelial structures ...
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is an angiofibroma also known as juvenile nasal angiofibroma, fibromatous hamartoma, and angiofibromatous hamartoma of the nasal cavity. [3] It is a benign but locally aggressive vascular tumor of the nasopharynx that arises from the superior margin of the sphenopalatine foramen and grows in the back of the nasal cavity.
IMF tumors are usually painless, well-encapsulated, rubbery to hard, and freely movable-to-fixed masses. [8] They may be evident at birth in up to 60% of cases [4] but generally go undetected until they [9] are diagnosed in the first year of life, [8] uncommonly in older infants and young (<10 years/old) children, [4] or rarely in older children and adults (one individual was diagnosed with ...
The diagnosis of IDF is usually based on its presentation in newborn or young infants and biopsy or fine needle aspirate analyses of the tumors' pathology. [7] These analyses should show the presence of spindle-shaped cells bearing eosinophilic paranuclear inclusions consisting of actin and vimentin filaments, which, if necessary, can be ...
Diffuse infantile fibromatosis is a rare condition affecting infants during the first three years of life. This condition is a multicentric infiltration of muscle fibers with fibroblasts resembling those seen in aponeurotic fibromas, presenting as lesions and tumors confined usually to the muscles of the arms, neck, and shoulder area [1]: 607 Diffuse infantile fibromatosis is characterized by ...
A non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is a benign bone tumor of the osteoclastic, giant cell-rich tumor type. [1] It generally occurs in the metaphysis of long bones in children and adolescents. [2]
