D10-D36: Benign neoplasms
Benign neoplasms are a group of non-cancerous growths that can develop in various parts of the body. Unlike malignant tumors, which invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body, benign neoplasms grow locally and do not spread. They form when cells in the body grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. These growths can occur at any age and can show up in multiple areas within the body such as the skin, breast, colon or blood vessels. Despite not being cancerous, some benign neoplasms can press on vital organs and cause health problems. Symptoms vary and often depend on the location and size of the growth. They can be found during routine medical checks or imaging tests meant for other health conditions. For some benign neoplasms, no specific cause is known, while others may be linked to genetic factors or certain environmental exposures. While benign neoplasms do not progress into a more serious disease state like cancer, they can grow larger over time and necessitate medical intervention.
