No but left unattended, it has the potential to become life-threatening in the future!
Yes, it is not life threatening but it can cause damage.
Benign tumors are non-malignant (non-cancerous) growths that are not life threatening and do not spread to non-adjacent tissues.
The term that means not life-threatening is "benign."
Malignant tumor cells are cancerous, tend to grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and can be life-threatening. Benign tumor cells are non-cancerous, grow slowly, do not invade nearby tissues, and are typically not life-threatening.
A lesion that is dangerous or life-threatening.

Malignant.
A benign tumor does not spread. If a tumor spreads, it is malignant.
A tumor is not inherently harmless; it can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body and are generally not life-threatening, but they can still cause problems if they press on vital organs or tissues. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, are cancerous and can invade nearby tissues and spread, making them potentially dangerous. Therefore, the nature and behavior of the tumor determine its level of harm.
