They are quite insensitive, and their removal is only called for if they cause pain or show signs of malignancy. A #false neuroma# is an overgrowth of the sheath of a nerve. This overgrowth may result in the formation of a circumscribed tumour, or may take the form of a diffuse fibromatosis.
The fibromatosis may also affect the cranial nerves, the ganglia on the posterior nerve roots, the nerves within the vertebral canal, and the sympathetic nerves and ganglia, as well as the continuations of the motor nerves within the muscles.
Soldau believes that the pigmentation and overgrowth of the epidermis in moles are associated with, and probably result from, a fibromatosis of the cutaneous nerves. Treatment. The quickest way to get rid of a mole is to excise it; if the edges of the gap cannot be brought together with sutures, recourse should be had to grafting.
Fibroid tumours of the uterus are described with myoma. Diffuse fibroma or Fibromatosis, analogous to lipomatosis, is met with in the connective tissue of the skin and sheaths of nerves, and constitutes one form of neuro-fibromatosis; a similar change is also met with in the stomach and colon. #Myxoma.# A myxoma is composed of tissue of a soft gelatinous, semifluid consistence.
The best known of these are the systematic forms of fibromatosis met with in the central nervous system and in the peripheral nerves neuro-fibromatosis; in the submucous coat of the stomach gastric fibromatosis; and in the colon intestinal fibromatosis. These conditions will be described with the tissues and organs in which they occur.
