Tumors: Benign, Premalignant and Malignant. A tumor, also known as a neoplasm, is an abnormal mass of tissue which may be solid or fluid-filled. A tumor does not mean cancer - tumors can be benign (not cancerous), pre-malignant (pre-cancerous), or malignant (cancerous). There are many different types of tumors and a variety of names for them - their names usually reflect their shape and the kind of tissue they appear in.
malignant For something that's very harmful, especially a tumor that's cancerous, use the term malignant. Malignant and its opposite benign are medical terms used to describe a tumor or growth as either cancerous or not respectively. The gn part of both words comes from the Latin word for born, differing in the prefix mal evil and bene kind. A malignant tumor grows uncontrollably and spreads to other parts of the body. Though less common, malignant can also be used to mean evil, malicious like when someone has a malignant imagination.
