Fibroma
Benign tumors composed of fibrous or connective tissue / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Fibroma' can also refer to uterine fibroids.
Fibromas are benign tumors that are composed of fibrous or connective tissue.[1] They can grow in all organs, arising from mesenchyme tissue. The term "fibroblastic" or "fibromatous" is used to describe tumors of the fibrous connective tissue. When the term fibroma is used without modifier, it is usually considered benign, with the term fibrosarcoma reserved for malignant tumors.
