Benign (Skin Cancer)

Not malignant. See Malignant. However, just because a growth is "benign" and does not meet the definition of malignant does not mean that it cannot cause trouble. For example, the pressure of its blood supply may cause a benign hemangioma (blood-vessel tumor) to rupture in the brain or eye causing death or damage. "Benign" implies that the growth is not able to spread distantly by seeding or that it will not grow and invade the nearby tissues, replacing or destroying them to any threatening degree. This does not imply that benign growths will not cause cosmetic deformity; for example, dozens of benign sebaceous hyperplasia (oil-gland growths) may grow deep and wide on the face drastically affecting appearance, but they are not malignant.
