Benign Neoplasm

Benign neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue in an organ or other body part. It is usually noncancerous and does not spread to other parts of the body. Benign neoplasms can cause a variety of symptoms including pain, bleeding, and changes in the function of organs. Treatment may involve medications, surgery, or radiation therapy. Benign neoplasms are important to identify and properly diagnose since they can be indicators of underlying medical conditions and can, if untreated, result in serious and even life-threatening complications. They are also important in research to better understand the cause of diseases and develop more effective treatments.
