Non-Organic Benign Tumors: Fibromas

Abstract

The causes of dermatofibroma and other forms of tumors of this type are not known. Some researchers believe that fibroids may form as a localized tissue reaction after minor trauma.

Sometimes fibroids can have a genetic component, especially in people of northern European descent. Some drugs, including beta-blockers, have been reported to cause changes in fibrous tissue. In addition, some fibromas may be affected by hormonal disruptions or pathologies of the endocrine organs, including problems with the thyroid and pancreas.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), inflammatory processes on the skin, especially chronic ones, as well as the effects of prolonged UV exposure, poor nutrition and the presence of bad habits can have a certain effect.

The article provides information about retroperitoneal-tumors, their occurrence in the experiment and their morphology. In experimental studies on white outbred rats, a tumor in the abdominal cavity was found in 1 case out of 30 rats. The isolated tumor was examined morphologically.
