A member asked:
Possible for benign tumors on the skull turn cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no: Benign tumors generally do not turn into malignant ones, having said that, there are enough exceptions that it is difficult to be specific without knowing what type of benign tumor on the skull you have in mind.
