Detailed explanation-1: -A benign tumor is an abnormal but noncancerous collection of cells. It can form anywhere on or in your body when cells multiply more than they should or don’t die when they should. A benign tumor is not malignant. It grows more slowly, has even borders and doesn’t spread to other parts of your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Benign tumors are those that stay in their primary location without invading other sites of the body. They do not spread to local structures or to distant parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -(beh-NINE TOO-mer) A growth that is not cancer. It does not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Benign tumors aren’t cancerous and are usually not life-threatening. But like their malignant cousins, they develop when cells grow abnormally, and they may form anywhere in the body, though benign cells don’t typically invade nearby tissue or spread-they’re contained to the tumor.
