A tumor or tumour is commonly used as a synonym for a neoplasm (a solid or fluid-filled (cystic) lesion that may or may not be formed by an abnormal growth of neoplastic cells) that appears enlarged in size. Tumor is not synonymous with cancer . While cancer is by definition malignant, a tumor can be benign , pre-malignant , or malignant , or can represent a lesion without any cancerous potential whatsoever.
