There is no way for an individual to tell the difference between a benign and malignant cancer. A biopsy will have to be taken by a doctor and then sent off to the lab to determine what it is and if it is cancerous.

Is a malignant tumor cancerous?
Yes, a malignant tumor is cancerous. The term "malignant" is used in medical terminology to describe tumors or growths that are cancerous in nature. Malignant tumors are characterized by uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth, and they have the potential to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. This ability to invade and metastasize distinguishes malignant tumors from benign tumors, which do not invade nearby tissues and are typically noncancerous.
