	Benign tumor - WrongDiagnosis.com
		A benign tumor is one that does not spread or "metastasize" to other parts of the body; a "malignant tumor" is one that does.
		A benign tumor is caused by cell overgrowth, and thus is different from a cyst or an abcess,
		A benign tumor may still grow, and this growth may cause damage to any organs, tissues, or nerves in its vicinity.

	LIGHTHOUSE SOS - IOWABTS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A primary brain tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue in which the cells grow and multiply without restraint, apparently unregulated by the body’s mechanisms that control normal cells.
		While such a tumor may be called "benign" because of its slow growth or lack of cancerous nature, the situation is far from its definition of possessing a gentle disposition; gracious; showing kindness and gentleness; favorable; wholesome; of a mild type or character that does not threaten health or life; having no significant effect; harmless.
		In summary, benign tumors pose a life-threatening condition due to mere location in the brain or spinal cord, and are therefore malignant by definition.

		Sometimes tumors are discovered only after a fracture occurs where the bone has been weakened by the growth of the tumor.
