A member asked:
Are tumors hard like bone or are they soft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Tumors of bone or cartilage can be hard, or tumors in other soft tissues may range from firm to hard, or be quite soft and spongy. It completely depends on the tissue type of the growth. If you have any lumps or bumps, get them checked out for peace of mind.
