What are the Common Types of Benign Proliferative Disorders?
Several types of benign proliferative disorders are commonly encountered in clinical practice. These include:
Fibroadenomas: These are benign tumors of the breast, often found in young women. They are characterized by a mixture of stromal and epithelial cells. Leiomyomas: Also known as uterine fibroids, these are benign smooth muscle tumors that commonly occur in the uterus. Adenomas: These benign tumors arise from glandular epithelium and can occur in various organs such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and colon. Hyperplasias: This condition involves the increased proliferation of cells within an organ or tissue, such as endometrial hyperplasia in the uterus. Lipomas: These are benign tumors of fatty tissue and are the most common soft tissue tumors in adults.
