A search of the archives comes up with no match. In English, the term "fibroid" can be made plural by saying "fibroids". I find the Dutch term "fibroom", but can you help with the plural—fibromen? fibrooms? Electronic Van Dale NL-EN provides no answer.

Example sentence:
Een fibroom (of fibroïde tumor) is een goedaardige tumor die opgebouwd is uit bindweefsel. Fibromen kunnen voorkomen in alle weefsels die zijn ontstaan uit het mesenchym. Kwaadaardige tumoren van bindweefsel worden fibrosarcomen genoemd.

BTW ... the plural of "fibroom" was not listed in the Electronic Van Dale English-Dutch dictionary (2009 release).
