There are several types of benign tumors, each originating from different tissues or cells. Common examples include:
- Lipomas: These are benign tumors made up of fat cells and are commonly found under the skin. - Fibromas: These are composed of fibrous or connective tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. - Adenomas: These develop in glandular tissues and are often found in organs like the thyroid or colon. - Hemangiomas: These are benign tumors made up of blood vessels, commonly seen in infants.
