Ossifying Fibroma

The common symptoms of ossifying fibromas include the following:

• It is usually painless, although there may be localized pain or fracture
• Localized firm swelling of the tibia

Pleural Fibroma

Pleural fibromas are usually asymptomatic and discovered as an incidental discovery on a routine chest radiograph. If symptomatic, clinical presentation can be with either one of the following:

• Cough
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath

Chondromyxoid Fibroma

The common symptoms of chondromyxoid fibroma includes the following:

• Progressive pain
• Bony swelling
• Restricted range of movement in affected limb

Cemento-ossifying Fibroma

• Approximately one-half of all cases of cemento-ossifying fibromas are asymptomatic, however the growth of the tumor over time may lead to the following symptoms:
• Facial asymmetry
• Facial discomfort or pain

Non-ossifying Fibroma

• The majority of non-ossifying fibromas are probably asymptomatic: However larger lesions may be painful and may weaken the bone enough to predispose to pathological fracture.

Cardiac Fibroma

The symptoms of cardiac fibromas include the following:

• Palpitations

Desmoplastic Fibroma

The symptoms of desmoplastic fibroma includes the following:
