A lump of cancerous tissue is typically referred to as a tumor. Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, are cancerous growths that have the potential to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body.
One kind of adrenal tumor that is often benign is a pheochromocytoma.
