A benign growth is an abnormal mass of cells or tissue that is not cancerous. There are several synonyms for benign growth such as non-cancerous tumor, non-malignant growth, harmless mass, and benign neoplasm. These terms refer to the same medical condition in which abnormal cells grow, but they do not have the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Other synonyms for benign growth include cyst, lipoma, fibroma, adenoma, and papilloma. It is important to differentiate between benign and malignant growths as the latter can pose a serious health risk if left untreated. Regular medical check-ups and diagnostic tests can help identify and monitor any abnormal growths.
