Overview
The majority of patients with fibroma are asymptomatic. The most common symptoms of fibroma include pain and swelling of the affected area.
History
Symptoms
Oral Fibromas
Oral fibromas are asymptomatic.
Ovarian Fibroma
Fibromas are generally asymptomatic. If symptoms are present, the most common one is abdominal pain.
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. More than half of pleural fibromas are asymptomatic at diagnosis 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
- Symptoms depend on the size of the tumor, its location relative to the conduction system, and whether it obstructs blood flow.
- The symptoms of cardiac fibromas include the following:
- Palpitations
Desmoplastic Fibroma
The symptoms of desmoplastic fibroma includes the following:
- Pain of the affected area
- Swelling of the affected area
Giant cell fibroma
They are asymptomatic
Elastofibroma
The majority of patients are asymptomatic. Approximately 50% of patients describe localised symptoms which include the following:
- Pain on movement
- Sensation of clicking, snapping, or clunking of the scapula
