*[[Ovarian fibromas]] are associated with [[ascites]] in approximately 40% of cases and with [[pleural effusions]] in a small percentage of cases.
*[[Meigs syndrome]]: consists of an ovarian fibroma with [[ascites]] and a [[pleural effusion]]
*Fibromas are seen in approximately 75% of [[patients]] with [[Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome|nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome]] ([[Gorlin syndrome]]).


===Gross Pathology===
===Pathogenesis===
On gross [[pathology]], the [[tumor]] was [[homogeneous]] and [[solid]] in appearance with a yellowish-white pigment tinge. [[Necrosis]] and [[hemorrhage]] may or may not be present.
*The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not completely understood.
OR
*It is understood that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
*[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
*Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
*[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
*The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
*The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.


===Microscopic Pathology===
==Genetics==
On [[microscopic]] [[histopathological]] analysis the following features are seen:
[Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern.

*Absence of significant [[cytological]] [[atypia]]


==Oral Fibroma (Focal fibrous hyperplasia, Peripheral fibroma, Peripheral ossifying fibroma, Fibroid epulis, Fibroepithelial polyp, Irritation fibroma, Traumatic fibroma)==
OR
The oral fibroma is also referred to as irritation fibroma. The majority of fibromas represent reactive focal fibrous hyperplasia due to trauma or local irritation.<ref name="librepathology">Fibroma. Libre pathology(2015) http://librepathology.org/wiki/Oral_fibroma Accessed on March 12, 2016</ref>
===Associated Conditions===
Multiple oral fibromas may be seen in Cowden disease.
===Location===
A fibroma may occur at any oral site, but it is seen most often on the buccal mucosa along the plane of occlusion of the [[maxillary]] and [[mandibular]] teeth.
===Pathogenesis===
The oral fibroma is a common oral lesion that arises due to trauma or chronic irritation. The fibroma is considered to be a reactive lesion. Oral fibroma represents a response of connective tissue cells to chronic irritation. When trauma occurs, the tissues of the oral cavity react and an irrepressible repair process is seen.
As a result, an overabundance of fibrous connective tissue is produced and the formation of a nodule or mass.
===Gross Pathology===
On gross pathology, a round-to-ovoid [[polypoid]] lesion, smooth-surfaced, and firm [[sessile]] or pedunculated mass, 1mm to 2 cm in diameter in size, [[hyperkeratotic]] or [[ulcerated]] surface, owing to repeated trauma are characteristic findings of oral fibroma.

*Intra-uterine
* ''GRM1'' [[gene fusion]] or [[Promoter region|promoter]] swapping noted
**Intramural [[leiomyoma]]: Intramural fibroids are located within the wall of the [[uterus]] and are the most common type
**Subserosal [[leiomyoma]]: Subserosal fibroids are located underneath the [[peritoneal]] surface of the [[uterus]] and can become very large. They can also grow out in a [[papillary]] manner to become [[pedunculated]] fibroids. These [[pedunculated]] growths can actually detach from the uterus to become a [[parasitic]] [[leiomyoma]].
**[[Submucosal]] [[leiomyoma]]: [[Submucosal]] fibroids are located in the [[muscle]] beneath the [[endometrium]] of the [[uterus]] and distort the [[uterine cavity]]; A [[pedunculated]] [[lesion]] within the cavity is termed an intracavitary fibroid and can be passed through the [[cervix]]. [[Submucosal]] [[Leiomyoma|leiomyomas]] are least common (10-15%)
*Extra-uterine
**[[Broad ligament]] [[leiomyoma]]
**[[Cervical]] [[leiomyoma]]
**[[Parasitic]] [[leiomyoma]]  
**Diffuse [[uterine]] [[leiomyomatosis]]
**Cervical [[Fibroids, Uterine|fibroids]] are located in the wall of the [[cervix]] (neck of the [[uterus]]). Rarely, [[fibroids]] are found in the supporting structures ([[Round ligament of the uterus|round ligament]], [[Broad ligament of the uterus|broad ligament]], or [[uterosacral ligament]]) of the [[uterus]] that also contain [[smooth muscle]] [[tissue]].

*[[Submucosal]] [[leiomyoma]]
===Pathogenesis===
*It is believed that [[estrogen]] and [[progesterone]] have a [[mitogenic]] effect on [[leiomyoma]] [[cells]] and also act by influencing (directly and indirectly) a large number of [[growth factors]], [[cytokines]] and [[apoptotic]] factors as well as other [[hormones]].  
*Furthermore, the actions of [[estrogen]] and [[progesterone]] are modulated by the cross-talk between [[estrogen]], [[progesterone]] and [[prolactin]] signalling which controls the expression of the respective nuclear receptors.  
*It is believed that [[estrogen]] promotes growth by up-regulating [[IGF-1]], [[EGFR]], [[TGFB1|TGF-beta1]], [[TGFBR3|TGF-beta3]] and [[PDGF]], and promotes aberrant survival of [[leiomyoma]] [[cells]] by down-regulating [[p53]], increasing expression of the anti-apoptotic factor [[PCP4]] and antagonizing [[PPAR]]-gamma signalling. [[Progesterone]] is thought to promote the growth of [[leiomyoma]] through up-regulating [[EGF module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor|EGF]], [[TGF-β|TGF-beta1]] and [[TGFBR3|TGF]]-beta3, and promotes survival through up-regulating [[Bcl-2]] expression and down-regulating [[TNF-alpha]]. [[Progesterone]] is believed to counteract growth by downregulating [[IGF-1]].
*Expression of transforming growth interacting factor ([[TGIF2|TGIF]]) is increased in [[leiomyoma]] compared with myometrium. TGIF is a potential repressor of TGF-β pathways in myometrial cells.
*Aromatase and [[17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase]] are aberrantly expressed in fibroids, indicating that fibroids can convert circulating [[androstenedione]] into estradiol.
*First degree relatives have a 2.5-fold risk, and nearly 6-fold risk when considering early onset cases. Monozygotic twins have double concordance rate for hysterectomy compared to dizygotic twins.
*Expansion of uterine fibroids is by a slow rate of cell proliferation combined with the production of copious amounts of extracellular matrix.
*A small population of the cells in an uterine fibroid have properties of stem cells or progenitor cells, and contribute significantly to ovarian steroid-dependent growth of fibroids. These stem-progenitor cells are deficient in estrogen receptor α and progesterone receptor and instead rely on substantially higher levels of these receptors in surrounding differentiated cells to mediate estrogen and progesterone actions via paracrine signalling.


===Genetics===
* Extra-uterine:
*Fibroids are monoclonal tumors and approximately 40 to 50% show karyotypically detectable chromosomal abnormalities.  
* [[Broad ligament]] [[leiomyoma]]
*When multiple fibroids are present they frequently have unrelated genetic defects. Specific mutations of the ''MED12'' protein have been noted in 70 percent of fibroids.
*[[Cervical]] [[leiomyoma]]
*If a mother had fibroids, risk in the daughter is about three times higher than average. Researchers have found that only a few specific genes or cytogenetic deviations are associated with [[uterine leiomyomas]]. An association with fatty acid synthase has been reported.  
*[[Parasitic]] [[leiomyoma]]
===Associated Conditions===
*Diffuse [[uterine]] [[leiomyomatosis]]
A syndrome (Reed's syndrome) that causes uterine leiomyomata along with cutaneous leiomyomata and renal cell cancer has been reported. This is associated with a mutation in the gene that produces the enzyme fumarate hydratase, located on the long arm of chromosome 1 (''1q42.3-43''). Inheritance is autosomal dominant.

* This is associated with a [[mutation]] in the [[gene]] that produces the [[enzyme]] [[fumarate hydratase]], located on the long arm of [[Chromosome 1|chromosome]] 1 (''1q42.3-43''). Inheritance is [[autosomal dominant]].
The most common sites for giant cell fibroma are the mandibular gingiva, followed by the maxillary gingiva, the tongue, and the palate.

==Gross Pathology==
|
On gross pathology, sessile or pedunculated nodule that is smaller than 1cm in diameter are characteristic findings of [[giant cell fibroma]]. Often, it has a bosselated or somewhat papillary surface.
*[[Maxillary]] [[gingiva]] is involved more often than the [[mandibular]] [[gingiva]]
===Microscopic Pathology===
|
The following features are seen on microscopic histopathological analysis of giant cell fibroma:
* Solid, [[sessile]] or [[pedunculated]] [[mass]], which is often [[Ulcerated lesion|ulcerated]], and generally has a diameter of less than 2 cm are characteristic findings of cemento-ossifying fibroma.
*An unencapsulated mass of fibrous connective tissue that contains numerous characteristic large, plump, stellate and spindle-shaped fibroblasts, some of which are multinucleated. These stellate and spindle shaped cells are easily observed in the peripheral areas of the lesion, while the more central areas contain typical fusiform fibroblasts.
|
*The surface epithelium is often atrophic and corrugated.
* Cemento -ossifying tumors are composed of [[fibrous tissue]], calcified tissue resembling [[bone]] and/or [[cementum]].
==Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma==
* The bone-like component is predominant reminiscent of woven bone and is found in more 'mature' lesions.
===Pathogenesis===
* In some instances, this entity has been divided into cementifying fibroma and [[ossifying fibroma]] depending on the relative amounts of the tumor's constituent tissues.
A peripheral odontogenic fibroma is a an uncommon neoplasm that is believed to arise from odontogenic epithelial rests in the periodontal ligament or the attached gingiva itself. Peripheral odontogenic fibroma is considered to be the extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma of the World Health Organization type.<ref name="pmid29333009">{{cite journal |vauthors=Chandna P, Srivastava N, Bansal V, Wadhwan V, Dubey P |title=Peripheral and Central Giant Cell Lesions in Children: Institutional Experience at Subharti Dental College and Hospital |journal=Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol |volume=38 |issue=4 |pages=440–446 |date=2017 |pmid=29333009 |pmc=5759061 |doi=10.4103/ijmpo.ijmpo_17_16 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid23055599">{{cite journal |vauthors=Shah M, Rathod CV, Shah V |title=Peripheral giant cell fibroma: A rare type of gingival overgrowth |journal=J Indian Soc Periodontol |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=275–7 |date=April 2012 |pmid=23055599 |pmc=3459513 |doi=10.4103/0972-124X.99276 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid23055599">{{cite journal |vauthors=Shah M, Rathod CV, Shah V |title=Peripheral giant cell fibroma: A rare type of gingival overgrowth |journal=J Indian Soc Periodontol |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=275–7 |date=April 2012 |pmid=23055599 |pmc=3459513 |doi=10.4103/0972-124X.99276 |url=}}</ref>
* Surface [[ulceration]] is common
===Location===
|
[[Peripheral odontogenic fibroma]] is commonly seen in mandible than maxilla. It is most often seen on the mandibular buccal or labial aspect.

Overview

On gross pathology, polypoid lesion which is usually small, are 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. On gross pathology, fleshy, fibrous, yellow or tan-brown lesion with variable areas of haemorrhage are characteristic findings of non-ossifying fibroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, spindle cells without cytologic atypia are arranged in a storiform pattern, scattered chronic inflammatory cells and benign giant cells, foam cells and hemosiderin deposition, and mitoses are characteristic findings of non-ossifying fibroma. On gross pathology, discrete mass that is well delineated from surrounding bone, tan-white, rubbery cut surface, firm to gritty and no encapsulation are characteristic findings of ossifying fibroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, haphazardly distributed lamellated bony spicules on a background of fibrous stroma, a zonal architecture with a center of immature bone surrounded by more mature lamellar bone, and central spicules of woven bony trabeculae are lined by a layer of osteoblasts are characteristic findings of ossifying fibroma.[1][2]
