Benign neoplasms
Adenomas
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.
