Fibroadoma Most often «chooses sacrifice» girls and young women up to 30 years. What danger represents this tumor and what effect she has for the further life and health of women - find out from our article.

Fibroadenomes are the most common benign breast tumors arising from the fibrous fabric of the breast. Fiberadenoma is more common in girls and young women up to 30 years. All fibroadomians consist of iron cells and fibrotanic or stromal cells. In most cases, fibroadenoma does not grow more than 1-3 cm in diameter, but occasionally meet and fibroadomes up to 5 cm. Such large tumors are called giant fibroadenomes. Tumors in adolescents are also called juvenile fibroadenomes.
Fiberadenomes usually have a spherical shape and a smoother surface compared with malignant tumors. Cancer tumors are hardly shifted inside the fabric, and fibroadoma - on the contrary - quite movable.
Fiberadenoma grows under the influence of estrogen, so it often increases at the end of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. After menopause fibroadenoma decreases in size, t.To. Estrogen level decreases. Humoriallyacting therapy, increasing the level of estrogen in the body, allows fibrotome to keep its dimensions.
Fibroenoma - Is there any danger
Fibroaden usually finds woman herself. This neoplasm is determined in the breast as «ball», With a smooth surface, clear contour. As a rule, fibroadenoma is movable. In some cases, it increases intensively (two-three-time increase in several months). Fiberadenoma is usually painless, although not always - it depends on its size and position. When feeling the fibroadenoma of the elastic and resembles a rubber ball. It is usually a single tumor. 10-15% of women have multiple fibroadenomes and they are found in both lactic glands.
Whether fibroadoma is reborn in cancer? Fibroenoma is not reborn in cancer, except for the case of sheet fibroadenomes. The scientific literature discusses the issue of malignant rebirth, however, the number of registered cases is so small that it is hardly possible to talk about any serious risk.
Fibroachenoma does not affect pregnancy in no way. In the absence of testimony, pregnancy (existing or planned) is not an indication for operational intervention. However, it is important to know that during pregnancy fibroadenoma under the action of a changing level of hormones can increase in size. And this may be an indication of its removal.
Special Last Fibroadoma
Philloid fibroadenoma or sheet tumor - a special kind of benign breast tumors. This type of tumor received its name for the building, which is determined on the layer-by-layer section. For this tumor is characterized by rapid growth. In 10% of cases, a leafoid tumor can be reborn into a malignant tumor of the connective tissue - sarcoma. Last sarcoma refers to «Border» Tumors - that is, it is like on the verge of a benign and malignant tumor. At the biopsy of sheet fibroadenomes, atypical cells are determined. They differ from normal cells by appearance, but so far still not malignant. Treatment of fibroadenomes of this type - operational.
How to find out fibroadeno
The diagnosis of fibroadenomes begins with inspection and piping of the chest, then mammography and / or ultrasound studies of the breast and, finally, biopsy. Biopsy is the only method of research that allows you to accurately determine the malignant or benignness of the tumor. Biopsy (fence piece of fabric for analysis under the microscope) can be carried out through a small incision or needle.
Girls and young women 20-25 years old biopsy is usually not required if the test tumor on a mammogram and ultrasound has all signs of fibroadenomes.
When you need an operation
If there are fibroadenomes with dimensions up to 1.0 cm, dynamic observation is possible (mammographic and ultrasound control).
Is it possible to cure fiberaden with medicines? No. Neither oral contraceptives nor hormone-containing drugs nor any drugs, including the funds of traditional medicine and homeopathic agents, cannot lead to the elimination of fibroadenomes.
Indications for the removal of fibroadenomes
There are indications for the removal of fibroadenomes:
- suspicion of cancer (fibroadenoma can simulate cancer, both in case of inspection and during examination with mammography and ultrasound);
- Intensive increase in fibroadenomes (the removal of large tumors often leads to cosmetic defects, so the removal of fibroadenomes during its rapid growth prevents these consequences);
- Large dimensions of fibroadenomes causing a cosmetic defect;
Operational treatment of breast fibroadenomes
Fundamentally conducted 2 types of operations:
- Enuccoration (deserted) - is carried out in the absence of suspected cancer. As a rule, under local anesthesia through a small incision (several centimeters) is carried out tumor. The defect with such a transaction is usually absent or minimal.
- Sectoral resection - the removal of the tumor together with the surrounding tissues (retreat from 1 to 2-3 cm from the tumor) - is carried out in suspected cancer. Cosmetic defect with such an operation can be noticeable.
Patients who have undergone operation to remove the fibroadenoma of the breast claim that fears before the operation do not correspond to the ease of the postoperative period. The fact is that even early postoperative period is almost painless. The period of removal of seams is about 9 (+/- 2) days after surgery. This operation is considered one of the most lungs in the breast surgery.
