	Benign familial infantile seizures
		Vigevano and coworkers directed their attention to cases that exhibited a family history of convulsions with benign outcome during infancy and autosomal dominant inheritance, suggesting the term "benign infantile familial convulsions.” The ILAE Task Force on Classification and terminology recently stated that the term "seizure" is preferred to the term "convulsion" (Engel 2001).
		In 1994 Malafosse demonstrated that benign infantile familial convulsions is not an allelic form of benign neonatal familial convulsions, excluding the marker on chromosome 20 (Malafosse et al 1994).
		Benign infantile familial convulsions are not an allelic form of the benign familial neonatal convulsions gene.

	Benign vs Secondary/Pogressive Multiple Sclerosis: The Potential Role Of Proton MR Spectroscopy In Defining The Nature ...
		Thirty patients with Clinically Definite MS, including 16 patients with Benign MS and 14 with Secondary/Progressive MS, and a group of 13 healthy volunteers were studied with combined stimulated-echo acquisition mode proton MR Spectroscopy and MR imaging (all patients received contrast material).
		Acute enhancing lesions of Benign and Secondary/Progressive MS were characterized by a reduction in N-AcetylAspartate (NAA)/Choline and NAA/Creatine and an increase in Inositol compounds/Creatine as compared with Normal White Matter.
		This study suggests that patients with Benign MS have two different patterns of disease evolution, one characterized by very low clinical and MR activities, the other in which the lack of disabling symptomatology might be related to factors like site, size and nature of lesions.

	Benign breast disease an important breast cancer risk factor - The Doctors Lounge(TM) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Mayo team is evaluating various possible risk factors for a later breast cancer, including age at benign biopsy, family history of breast cancer and the pathologic findings of the benign lesion.
		Hartmann and her co-investigators were heartened to find convincing evidence that women with the most common, non-proliferative forms of benign findings had no increased risk of developing breast cancer -- as long as they did not have a strong family history of breast cancer.
		All benign breast samples were evaluated by a breast pathologist unaware of initial diagnoses or patient outcomes and assigned to one of three categories of benign breast lesions -- non-proliferative, proliferative and atypical.

	Prostate Enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy)
		Thus, in older prostates with benign hyperplasia the activity of 5 alpha-reductase is almost the same in both compartments.
		The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis of a causal relationship between high insulin levels and the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to determine the clinical, anthropometric, metabolic and insulin profile in men with fast-growing BPH compared with men with slow-growing BPH.
		Eight beagles with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) were treated by subcutaneous implantation of pellets containing 10 mg/kg chlormadinone acetate (CMA), a synthetic anti-androgen, plus daily oral administration of CMA at 2 mg/kg per day for 7 days as a therapy for BPH.

	Breast biopsy: Interpreting your risk of breast cancer - MayoClinic.com
		Though doctors have known that a benign reading from a biopsy (benign breast disease) might mean an increased risk of a later breast cancer, they now have a better idea of how much that benign finding influences your risk, thanks to a new study of benign breast disease.
		Women who've had a breast biopsy with benign findings have so-called "benign breast disease." Breast biopsies are done when a suspicious lump or area of thickening within the breast is discovered on examination, or because an abnormality is detected on a mammogram.
		Benign breast disease is usually divided into three categories, based on the appearance of the cells under a microscope: nonproliferative, proliferative without atypia and atypia.

	Astrocytoma, Benign
		Benign astrocytomas are abnormal growths or tumors that occur in the brain and spinal cord.
		Because of the pressure either type of astrocytoma (benign or malignant) exerts upon the brain and the resulting symptoms, the distinction between benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the brain is less critical than for tumors occurring elsewhere in the body.
		Benign astrocytomas may occur in anyone at any age, but white males between the ages of 40 and 70 are most commonly affected.

	bone tumors, benign bone tumors
		Among the most common benign tumors involving bone are endochondroma, osteochondroma, nonossifying fibroma, chondroblastoma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, periosteal chondroma, giant cell tumor, and chondromyxoid fibroma.
		Some “benign” tumors occasionally are locally aggressive tumors that can progressively destroy bone. An example would be giant cell tumor of bone. This particular tumor would need early local management before the end of a bone is destroyed.
		Once confirmation is made of the diagnosis as a benign lesion, usually the lesion will be curetted (scraped out) and bone grafted. It is unusual to have major problems with this type of surgery.

	eMedicine - Salivary Gland Tumors, Minor, Benign : Article by Fadi Chahin, MD
		Clinical: The classic presentation of a benign SGT is a painless, slow-growing mass on the face (parotid), angle of the jaw (parotid tail, submandibular), or neck (submandibular) or a swelling at the floor of the mouth (sublingual).
		Benign SGTs are almost always freely mobile, and for masses that arise in the parotid gland, facial nerve function should be normal.
		Pleomorphic adenomas (benign mixed tumors) are the most common tumors of the salivary gland and are most often located in the tail of the parotid gland.
