Benign Neoplasm

A benign neoplasm is a non-cancerous growth of abnormal cells in the body. Unlike cancerous tumors, benign neoplasms do not spread to other parts of the body or invade nearby tissues. They tend to grow slowly and are usually well-defined, meaning they have clear boundaries. Common examples include lipomas (fatty tumors) or fibromas (fibrous tissue tumors). While benign neoplasms are generally not life-threatening, they can sometimes cause symptoms or complications depending on their size and location, and may require medical removal or monitoring.
