Benign Tumor: What Is It?
Subtitle Forum
A benign tumor is a mass of abnormal cells that do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors can appear in any organ, but they are most common in the skin, breast, and other soft tissues. Benign tumors are usually not life-threatening and can be surgically removed.
Does a Benign Tumor Recur?
Subtitle Forum
Yes, benign tumors can recur. Recurrence means that the tumor has returned after it was previously removed. In some cases, benign tumors can become cancerous, so it is important to monitor for signs of recurrence. The risk of recurrence depends on the type of tumor, its location, and how completely it was removed. Regular check-ups with a doctor can help to detect any recurrence of the tumor early.
