Benign tumors are noncancerous growths on the body. They are generally not dangerous for health, but may be unaesthetical or cause discomfort because of their location.
Benign tumors should be removed if they:
- become painful
- become inflammatory
- secrete unpleasantly smelling fluids
- grow substantially
- change their shape or color
At Christinas Clinic all benign tumors are removed surgically. These include:
1) Lipomas
These are soft and painless new growths under the skin.
They are mostly:
- small
- movable
- soft, with elastic consistency
- do not cause pain
- grow slowly over a long time period
2) Papillomas
Papillomas are benign tumors of the skin or mucous membrane.
They are mostly:
- projecting
- squamous or with glandular structure
- may be skin color or pigmented
- occur in older age
- grow slowly over a long time period
3) Other benign new growths
- birth marks
- dermatofibroma
- dermoid cysts
- keratoacanthoma
- pyogenic granuloma
- seborrheic keratosis
- vascular lesion
- etc
The length of the surgery depends on the size, shape and the nature of the tumor.
