whats a plantar fibroma?

Question

Is plantar fibromatosis the same as plantar fibroma?

Answer 1

See below: It is an accumulation of dense tissue usually found on the plantar fascia.

Answer 2

Neurofibromatosis: Neurofibromatosis type 1 and 2 are conditions caused by genetic reasons. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can take for these conditions. Treatment is only symptomatic, meaning if you had a tumor affecting your vision you can get a surgery and if you had seizures you can take anti-seizure medications.

Answer 3

Depends: Other than cosmetic disfigurement, treatment depends on what it does to other tissues or organs.

Answer 4

Neurofibromatosis: This is a pair of genetic diseases that make a person much more vulnerable to a variety of different tumors, most famously neurofibromas, but also acoustic neuromas / schwannomas, pheochromocytomas, and a variety of others depending on the allele and locus.

Answer 5

Neurofibromatosis: Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder involves the brain, nerves and skin. There are two types, type 1 which is more common and type 2, typically in adults. Type 1 patients have many brown birth marks, can have benign growths in the brain and develop tumors of the nerves of the eye, and other nerves as well. Many patients have no symptoms, but some can have significant problems.

Answer 6

Neurocutaneous: Neurofibromatosis (nf) comes in two types, nf1 and nf2. Nf1 is the more common of the two. It is a syndrome that results from a mutation in a gene that controls cell growth. Because cells can then grow unrestricted, patients often present with multiple coffee colored (cafe au lait) spots on the skin, tumors of both nerves and the brain can also occur. Close monitoring by a physician is important.

Answer 7

Skin tag: Fibroma molle (soft) as opposed to fibroma durum (hard) refers to benign skin tags often with a stalk (polypoid). They are common during pregnancy and are otherwise harmless and may disappear post partum. When bothersome, dermatologists can easily remove them. Areas where you can find them: eyelids, neck, armpits, groin, between skin folds.

Answer 8

Steroid injections: A plantar fibroma is a fibrous knot or lump in the arch of the foot. It is inside the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that goes from the heel to the toes on the bottom of the foot. Treatment may be corticosteroid injections into the lump to shrink it, plus some custom orthotic shoe inserts, with some physical therapy. Then, there can be surgery if the other treatments did not help.

Answer 9

Depends if it is : Painful or not. One can leave it alone assuming the diagnosis is confirmed. Treatments may include topical verapamil, cryotherapy, steroid injections, or surgical excision. I do think it is important to confirm the diagnosis via biopsy whether treating or not.

Answer 10

Plantar fibroma: Treatment ranges from conservative to surgical. Conservative treatment consists of orthotics that accommodate the mass, use of topical verapamil, or injection therapy. Surgical excision can be performed but fibromas can recur. There are some studies supporting radiation therapy as well for very invasive and recalcitrant cases.

Answer 11

Surgical resection : Surgery can remove fibroma you can try getting cortisone injection to relieve pain voltaren cream can help.

Answer 12

Plantar fibroma: Treatment ranges from conservative to surgical. Conservative treatment consists of orthotics that accommodate the mass, use of topical verapamil, or injection therapy. Surgical excision can be performed but fibromas can recur. There are some studies supporting radiation therapy as well for very invasive and recalcitrant cases.

Answer 13

A fibrous tumor : Oma means tumor (could be cancerous or benign) and fibr relates to fibrous or firm, scar-like collagenous growths. Fibromas are usually firm and are not cancerous. Fibroadenomas are firm glandular-type benign tumors of the breast, for example. Fibroma is a pretty general term, like "mole.".
