What Is Fiberlymphoma?
My 35 year old son was told that he has fiberlymphoma on his back. He had surgery on 11/17/11 where tissue was removed but they apparently did not get all of it. He has surgery scheduled again on 12/8/11 to remove the remaing tissue and insert tubes to drain the fluid. The biopsy was benign but we don't know anything about fiberlymphoma. We live in Maryland and he lives in Mississippi.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
Fiberlymphoma is rare kind of lymphoma, seen mostly in young males.
Etiology is not sure but adenovirus infection is the most probable cause.
It is highly aggressive and very notorious in spread and recurrence.
Surgery is the only treatment option.
It is not having good prognosis. Five year survival rate is less than 30%.
So better to consult oncosurgeon and discuss all these.
