Benign growths are non-cancerous tumors that can develop in various parts of the body. Unlike malignant tumors, they do not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other areas. Common types of benign growths include lipomas, which are fatty tumors, and adenomas, which arise from glandular tissue. These growths can vary in size and may cause symptoms depending on their location. While benign growths are generally not harmful, they can sometimes require monitoring or removal if they cause discomfort or other issues. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help ensure any growths are properly assessed.
