D28.9: Benign neoplasm: Female genital organ, unspecified
When there is abnormal growth of tissue in an organ, then this is referred to as a tumor. The tissue in the body is made up of cells. A tumor disorder involves the cells multiplying more than normal. This results in abnormal or excess tissue forming. A tumor can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not destroy the healthy tissue and do not spread throughout the body.
The female genitals are made up of the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus and the vagina. The genitals are surrounded by connective tissue. This includes various ligaments attaching the genitals to the pelvis.
