Indolent lesions of epithelial origin
Nature:
Benign tumours can disrupt normal function by releasing hormones or by crowding nearby tissue.
Background:
Benign tumours do not spread to or invade other parts of the body. Cancer cells, by contrast, break away from the primary tumour and spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
