Benign neoplasms
Benign neoplasms are different types of tumours that usually do not pose a significant threat to the life and health of patients. They can be localized in many human organs and tissues. However, in some cases, they are better to be removed. The main indication for the removal of such tumours is the violation of the patient’s wellbeing, for example, creating an unpleasant effect in the case of subcutaneous lipomas. The surgical methods of their removal are as follows:
- Blunt method (excision of the tumour from its capsule, without the use of a scalpel);
- Acute method (excision of the tumour with a scalpel. Usually used when the tumour is tightly fused with the surrounding tissues).
As a rule, when a benign tumour is found, it is worth consulting a doctor about its removal, even if it will not affect the patient’s condition.
Different types of tumours have different chances to become malignant and some of them are still better to be removed. Quite often it is necessary to take additional tests to determine whether or not it needs to be removed.
