Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths in the body. Unlike malignant tumors, which are cancerous and have the potential to spread to other parts of the body, benign tumors remain localized and typically grow at a slower rate. These tumors often have well-defined borders and do not invade surrounding tissues. Although benign tumors are generally less dangerous than malignant ones, they can still cause health issues depending on their size and location.
