Neoplasms can be benign or malignant, though it is not always easy to tell how a neoplasm will act based upon gross or even microscopic appearances. Here is a benign lipoma on the serosal surface of the small intestine. It has the characteristics of a benign neoplasm: it is well circumscribed, slow growing, non-invasive, and closely resembles the tissue of origin (fat). |
