The surgical removal of a fibroid tumor.

An older term for certain fibromas and leiomyomas.

Fibromas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors which consist of fibrous tissues or connective tissue.

Although most connective tissue has fibrillar elements, the term usually refers to tissue laid down at a wound site well vascularised at first (granulation tissue) but later avascular and dominated by collagen rich extracellular matrix, forming a scar.

Excessive contraction and hyperplasia leads to formation of a keloid which is described as a sharply elevated, irregularly shaped, progressively enlarging scar resulting from the formation of excessive amounts of collagen in the corium during connective tissue repair.

Leiomyomas are described as benign uterine tumors which are also referred to as uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids can cause pelvic pain and irregular vaginal bleeding in some females.

Lipoma containing an excess of fibrous tissue.

A fibrous, encapsulated connective tissue tumor.

It is irregular in shape, slow in growth, and has a firm consistency. pressure or cysteic degeneration may cause pain.

Sometimes it occurs in the periosteum (dense fibrous membrane covering the surface of bones, except at their extremities). It may affect the jaws, occiput (back part of the head or skull), pelvis, vertebrae, ribs, long bones, or sternum

Removal of a fibroma or a fibroid tumor (a benign or non-cancerous tumor which consists of connective tissue).

Consisting of muscle and connective tissue.

A syndrome characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, and tenderness of muscles, tendons, and joints without detectable inflammation.

Fibromyalgia does not cause body damage or deformity; however, undue fatigue plagues the large majority of patients with fibromyalgia and sleep disorders are common.

It is considered an arthritis-related condition; but,it is not a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) since it does not cause inflammation in the joints, muscles, or other tissues or damage them.

Fibromyalgia can (like arthritis) cause significant pain and fatigue and it can similarly interfere with a person's ability to carry on daily activities.

These vary, with pain and fatigue generally prominent, sometimes causing considerable disability.

Patients can usually dress and wash independently, but they can not cope with a job or household activities.

Patients generally score highly on measures of anxiety and depression.

Excision of a fibromyoma (benign uterine tumor also referred to as a uterine fibroid or the smooth muscle tumors of the uterus).

1. A fibrous tissue myoma (benign tumor composed of muscle tissue).
2. A fibroid tumor of the uterus that contains more fibrous than muscle tissue.

1. Surgical excision of a uterine myoma (benign tumor made up of muscular elements).
2. Removal of a fibromyoma from the uterus, leaving that organ in place.

1. Local inflammation of muscle and connective tissue.
2. A condition characterized by chronic pain in the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints, fatigue, and tenderness at specific sites in the body.

Surgical incision of a fibroid tumor.

A tumor containing bony and fibrous elements.

The development of fibrous tissue, as in the healing of a wound or wounds.

A reference to the formation of fibrous tissue.
