fibroma
Fibroma is a benign growth made mainly of fibrous connective tissue. It is usually non-cancerous, often slow-growing, and may occur in the skin, mouth, uterus, ovary, bone, or other sites.
The meaning and treatment depend on the location. For example:
- Skin/oral fibroma: a small, firm lump, often removed only if irritated, painful, or diagnosis is uncertain.
- Uterine fibroid (more accurately, leiomyoma): a benign uterine smooth-muscle tumor that can cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure, or fertility/pregnancy issues.
- Ossifying fibroma: a benign jaw-bone lesion, usually assessed by dental imaging and sometimes surgery.
A new, enlarging, painful, bleeding, ulcerated, or hard-fixed lump should be examined by a clinician. Where is the fibroma, and do you have a report or symptoms?
In right hypochondriac region

“Fibroma in the right hypochondriac region” is not specific enough to identify the organ or the type of mass. It could refer to the abdominal wall, liver/gallbladder area, bowel/omentum, or a finding described on an ultrasound or CT scan.

- Any recommendation for follow-up or biopsy
The right hypochondrium contains the liver, gallbladder, right kidney upper pole, colon, and abdominal-wall structures. A “fibroma” there cannot be interpreted safely without knowing its exact origin. Seek urgent assessment if you have severe/worsening pain, fever, vomiting, jaundice, abdominal swelling, weight loss, or a rapidly enlarging lump.
