A fibroepithelial neoplasm (or tumor) is a biphasic tumor. They consist of epithelial tissue, and stromal or mesenchymal tissue. They may be benign or malignant. [1] Examples include: Brenner tumor of the ovary; Fibroadenoma of the breast; Phyllodes tumor of the breast; Sometimes fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) of the vulva may be misdiagnosed as ...
Phyllodes tumors are part of a group of breast diseases called cellular fibroepithelial lesions. [8] This term incorporates a spectrum of diseases ranging from a benign fibroadenoma to a malignant phyllodes tumor, with numerous variants in between. [14] They are classified by ICD-O, not by MeSH. [14]
Fibroepithelial polyps, pedunculated lesions of the palate beneath an upper denture, are associated with this condition. A cobble-stone appearance similar to an epulis fissuratum in a patient without dentures can be diagnostic of Crohn's disease. [8]
Onychomatricoma is a fibroepithelial tumour that has two different regions. [7] The proximal zone, which is defined by deep epithelial invaginations occupied by overlaying ungual protrusions, is situated beneath the posterior nail fold.
In the male breast, fibroepithelial tumors are very rare, and are mostly phyllodes tumors. Exceptionally rare case reports exist of fibroadenomas in the male breast; however, these cases may be associated with antiandrogen treatment.
A skin tag, or acrochordon (pl.: acrochorda), is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases (or rubs together), such as the neck, armpit and groin.
Benign fibromas may, but need not, be removed. Removal is usually a brief outpatient procedure or using cryotherapy in which the lesion is deep frozen (-196 degrees Celsius using liquid nitrogen) and thawed for two or more cycles, with full recovery within 3 to 4 weeks. The cryotherapy treatment needs no anesthetics and is painless.
Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the lesion down to the bone. [2] If there are any adjacent teeth, they are cleaned thoroughly to remove any possible source of irritation. Surgical methods can be traditional, Nd:YAG laser or QMR scalpel. Recurrence is around 16%, [3] with some studies reporting up to 45%. [4]
