D35.7: Benign neoplasm: Other specified endocrine glands
When there is abnormal growth of tissue in an organ, then this is also 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. The tumor you have is benign. Benign tumors do not destroy the healthy tissue and do not spread throughout the body.
A gland is a tissue which produces a specific fluid or messenger substances. The salivary glands, for example, have this kind of tissue, but it is also in other organs. Glands have many different tasks in the body. They produce important messenger substances, for example. Abnormal growth of tissue in the glands may lead to you having various symptoms.
However, it is also possible that you will have no symptoms at all.
