A member asked:

Describe the features of a benign neoplasm.?

Dr. Michael Thompson answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Varies: Benign = non-cancer. Neoplasm = tumor or mass. So, the features of a non-cancerous mass depend on what it is -- that is what cell it is derived from, location, etc.
