Slide3What Is a Tumor?
A tumor is an abnormal lump or growth of cells. Sometimes a tumor is made up of cells that aren't a threat to invade other tissues. This is considered benign. When the cells are abnormal and can grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body, they are cancerous cells. That means the tumor is malignant. This spreading process is called metastasis.
Slide4What Is a Tumor?
A tumor is a cluster of abnormal cells. Depending on the types of cells in a tumor, it can be: Benign. The tumor doesn’t contain cancerous cells. Malignant. The tumor contains cancerous cells.
Slide5Benign Tumors
Benign bone tumors are non-cancerous and not typically life threatening. There are many types of benign bone tumors. The most common types include non-ossifying fibroma, unicameral (simple) bone cyst, osteochondroma, giant cell tumor, enchondroma, and fibrous dysplasia.
Slide6Benign Tumors
Slide7Malignant Tumors
Malignant means that the tumor is made of cancer cells and it can invade nearby tissues. Some cancer cells can move into the bloodstream or lymph nodes, where they can spread to other tissues within the body—this is called metastasis. Cancer can occur anywhere in the body including the breast,
lungs, intestines
, reproductive organs, blood, or skin.

Slide9difference between benign and malignant tumors
Benign tumors
Malignant tumors
Don’t invade nearby tissue
Able to invade nearby tissue
Can’t spread to other parts of the body
Can shed cells that travel through the blood or lymphatic system to other parts of the body to form new tumors
Normally don’t return after they’re removed
Can return after being removed
Usually have a smooth, regular shape
May have an uneven shape
Often move around if you push on them
Don’t move around when you push on them
Typically not life-threatening
Can be life-threatening
May or may not need treatment
Require treatment

Slide16Can a Benign Tumor Turn into Malignant?
Rarely some types of benign tumors transform into malignant tumors. But tumors like adenomatous polyps (adenomas) in the colon have a greater risk of transforming into malignant tumor. That is why polyps, which are benign, are removed during colonoscopy to avoid further complications. Removing them is one way of preventing colon cancer. It’s not always
clear-cut whether
a tumor is benign or malignant that’s why
doctors use
several different factors to diagnose it as one or the
other.
Sometimes
it may end up with an uncertain diagnosis. Also, it
is possible
that a biopsy finds precancerous cells or misses the
area where
the cancerous cells are more prevalent. In these
cases, what
was thought to be benign might turn out to be malignant
as it
further grows and develops.
