A benign tumor is not a malignant tumor, which is cancer. It does not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body the way cancer can. In most cases, the outlook with benign tumors is very good. But benign tumors can be serious if they press on vital structures such as blood vessels or nerves.
Is a tumor and a lesion the same thing?
A bone lesion is considered a bone tumor if the abnormal area has cells that divide and multiply at higher-than-normal rates to create a mass in the bone. The term “tumor” does not indicate whether an abnormal growth is malignant (cancerous) or benign, as both benign and malignant lesions can form tumors in the bone.
Should benign tumors be removed?
Benign tumors don’t have cancer cells, but they can still be dangerous and need to be removed. That’s because some tumors can grow large enough to block the pathway of important nutrients or put pressure on critical organs.
