Detailed explanation-1: -A tumor is any abnormal proliferation of cells, which may be either benign or malignant. A benign tumor, such as a common skin wart, remains confined to its original location, neither invading surrounding normal tissue nor spreading to distant body sites.
Detailed explanation-2: -(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-3: -What’s a benign tumor? 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.
