What are the Histological Characteristics of Benign Neoplasms?
Benign neoplasms typically exhibit well-differentiated cells that resemble the tissue of origin. They have a well-defined capsule, which makes them easier to excise. The cells show minimal pleomorphism (variation in size and shape) and low mitotic activity. Examples of benign neoplasms include:
- Lipomas: Composed of mature fat cells. - Fibromas: Made up of fibrous connective tissue. - Adenomas: Originate from glandular tissue.
