Overview
On gross pathology, solid white mass which is usually well-circumscribed is characteristic findings of ovarian fibroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, ovarian fibroma is composed of spindle cells forming variable amounts of collagen. Sectioning of a fibroma typically reveals a chalky-white surface that has a whorled appearance, similar to that of a uterine fibroid. Areas of edema, occasionally with cyst formation, are also relatively common. On gross pathology, polypoid lesion which is usually small, is characteristic findings of oral fibroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, fibrous stroma, collagen bundles, prominent vessels, and overlying squamous mucosa with hyperkeratosis and focal ulceration are characteristic findings of oral fibroma. On gross pathology, well circumscribed, metaphyseal lesion, and fragments of white-grey rubbery tissue are characteristic findings of chondromyxoid fibroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, spindle cells or stellate cells in a myxoid or chondroid stroma, lobules with hypocellular centers and hypercellular peripheries, giant cells in a hypercellular periphery, and scattered calcifications are characteristic findings of chondromyxoid fibroma.
Pathophysiology
Ovarian Fibroma
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, solid white mass which is usually well-circumscribed is characteristic findings of ovarian fibroma.
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, fibroma is composed of spindle cells forming variable amounts of collagen. Sectioning of a fibroma typically reveals a chalky-white surface that has a whorled appearance, similar to that of a uterine fibroid. Areas of edema, occasionally with cyst formation, are also relatively common.
Oral Fibroma
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, polypoid lesion which is usually small, is characteristic findings of oral fibroma.
Microscopic Pathology
Following features are noted on microscopic histopathological analysis of oral fibroma:
- Fibrous stroma is a key feature
- Collagen bundles may be present
- Vessels may be prominent
- Overlying squamous mucosa is benign
- Hyperkeratosis may be present
- Focal ulceration may be present
Chondromyxoid Fibroma
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, well circumscribed, metaphyseal lesion, and fragments of white-grey rubbery tissue are characteristic findings of chondromyxoid fibroma.
Microscopic Pathology
Following features are noted on microscopic histopathological analysis of chondromyxoid fibroma:
- Spindle cells or stellate cells in a myxoid or chondroid stroma
- Lobules with hypocellular centers and hypercellular peripheries
- Giant cells in the hypercellular periphery
- Scattered calcifications.
- No true hyaline cartilage formation is seen
- No mitotic activity is seen
