Fibroepithelial neoplasm
(Redirected from Fibroepithelial)
Template:Infobox medical condition (new) A fibroepithelial neoplasm (or tumor) is a biphasic tumor. They consist of epithelial tissue, and stromal or mesenchymal tissue. They may be benign or malignant.[1]
Examples include:
- Brenner tumor of the ovary
- Fibroadenoma of the breast
- Phyllodes tumor of the breast
Sometimes fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) of the vulva may be misdiagnosed as cancers. However not much harm is caused because the treatment of both is excision. The consent for removal must however be completely informed.[2]
