Sure, where?: An adenoma is a growth coming from a gland, and can show up at any time, in almost any location and sometimes quite quickly. Adenomas can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant, and how serious they are also depends on what organ or body part is affected. Biopsy results should give you some useful answers to know what to expect.
