A member asked:
Can a benign tumour exhibit similar symptoms to a malignant one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well....: They could both grow to a large size and cause local damage and even death but malignant tumors would behave more aggressive locally and of course, they can spread (metastasize).
