Main Clinical Manifestations of Breast Fibroadenoma

Breast fibroadenoma is a benign biphasic tumour composed of proliferating glandular and stromal elements. It is the commonest solid breast mass in women under 30 years and is strongly hormone-responsive. Most lesions are solitary and indolent, but multiple or rapidly enlarging variants require exclusion of phyllodes tumour or carcinoma. Painless, highly mobile noduleTypically 1–3 cm, firm, smooth, and well-circumscribed; the “slip sign”—easy displacement under the fingers—distinguishes it from malignant masses that adhere to surrounding tissue. Smooth, regular marginsPalpation reveals an ovoid or gently lobulated contour with a distinct edge; deep lesions may feel discoid when compressed against the chest wall.... Learn more

What Are the Symptoms of Fibroma?

Fibromas are benign tumors composed of fibrous connective tissue. Their symptoms depend on location and size, but most present as slow-growing, painless, firm nodules. Dermatofibroma typically measures 0.5–1.5 cm, reddish-brown, smooth or rough, slightly tender when pressed; lateral compression produces a central dimple. Lesions favor extremities. Gingival fibromatosis presents as diffuse, symmetric gingival hyperplasia with firm consistency, covering crowns, causing tooth displacement, eruption delay and masticatory dysfunction. Deep soft-tissue fibromas manifest as ill-defined firm masses; nerve or joint involvement may produce pain, numbness, or limited motion. Neurofibroma lies within or under skin, soft, skin-colored or pink, sometimes painful or paresthetic;... Learn more
