<\/span><\/h2>\nFibromatosis is a condition where the fibrous growth of dermal<\/span> and subcutaneous<\/span> connective tissue<\/span> develop tumors called fibroids<\/span>. These fibroids are generally benign<\/span> (not cancerous).<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the classification of fibromatosis?<\/span><\/h2>\nThere seem to be many different ways to classify fibromatosis. A classification system used is based on age (i.e. youth<\/span> vs. adult fibromatosis) and location (i.e. superficial vs. deep fibromatosis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n| Youth<\/th>\n | Adult<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n\n\n- \nCongenital<\/span> generalized<\/span> fibromatosis (childhood myofibromatosis)<\/li>\n
- Aponeurotic fibroma<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- Childhood digital fibromatosis<\/li>\n
- Aggressive childhood fibromatosis<\/li>\n
- Fibromatosis colli<\/li>\n
- Lenticular dermatofibrosis (Buschke-Ollendorf syndrome<\/span>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Superficial fibromatosis (fascial)<\/p>\n\n- \nPalm<\/span> (Dupuytren contracture<\/span>) and plant<\/span> (Ledderhose disease) fibromatosis<\/li>\n
- Pachydermodactyly<\/li>\n
- Fibromatosis of the penis (Peyronie's disease)<\/li>\n
- Knuckles<\/li>\n
- Dermatofibroma<\/li>\n
- \nNodular<\/span> fasciitis<\/li>\n
- Elastofibroma<\/li>\n
- Fibrous papule<\/span> Of the face<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nDeep fibromatosis (musculoaponeurotic)<\/p>\n\n- Desmoid tumors (aggressive fibromatosis)\n
\n- Extra-abdominal fibromatosis<\/li>\n
- Abdominal fibromatosis<\/li>\n
- Intra-abdominal fibromatosis (eg, pelvic fibromatosis)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

- Small size<\/li>\n

- Less aggressive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n\n- Rapidly growing pseudotumor<\/li>\n
- They usually reach a large size<\/li>\n

While most fibromatosis are benign tumors and are not metastasis<\/span> (they spread to other parts of the body), desmoid tumors although they do not metastasize like evil one<\/span> cancers can be locally aggressive. They can grow rapidly in large tumors that can obstruct vital structures such as major blood vessels<\/span>, nerves<\/span> and organs.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Fibromatosis<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n \n  \n<\/div>\n Children's digital fibroma<\/p>\n \n  \n<\/div>\n Knuckles<\/p>\n \n  \n<\/div>\n Dermatofibroma<\/p>\n \n  \n<\/div>\n Fibrous papule<\/p>\n \n  \n<\/div>\n Periungual fibroma<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/span>What causes fibromatosis?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe cause of fibromatosis remains unclear. In some types of fibromatosis, such as desmoid tumors, it is believed that the condition may be related to trauma<\/span>, hormonal factors, or having a genetic<\/span> association. Superficial fibromatosis such as palmar, plantar, and penile fibromatosis have sometimes been linked to certain diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, and hypertension<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the treatment for fibromatosis?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe management of fibromatosis depends on the individual disease.
