Malignant and Benign Lesions

Malignant and benign lesions are types of abnormal tissue growths. Benign lesions are non-cancerous; they grow slowly, don't spread, and are usually harmless, often removable without serious health risks. Malignant lesions are cancerous; they tend to grow quickly, invade nearby tissues, and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. The key difference is that malignant lesions have the potential to be life-threatening, while benign ones typically do not. Accurate diagnosis by a healthcare professional is essential to determine the nature of a lesion and appropriate treatment.
