Benign vs Malignant Neoplasms Medical Coding https://www.cco.us/ Q: Neoplasms -- I really, really like neoplasms. I don't know why but I just do. What's the difference between benign and malignant neoplasms? A: It can get very confusing, but keep in mind that benign is not bad, malignant is monstrous. It's not good. Let's look at what we've got there; I've got a couple of samples. This is actually art, but it is what I would draw on a board when I was teaching. I'd say, you have all these cells and let's say all of your cells are circles -- because actually plant cells are square, if you guys didn't know that from your school. Let's say we've got all of these nice little circles and squares and they're your cells and they are working well together, they are in good format and everything; but did you notice some of these are darker than the other ones, so they're different. Let's say, all of the normal cells doing their function are the lighter color, but if cells change or mutate they aren't the same as the other cells and these change colors. So, let's talk about this: Neoplasm is another word for tumor. In general, tumors occur when cells divide and grow excessively in the body. Normal cells grow and have division and are strictly controlled. They know their job and they do it well. New cells are created to replace the old ones or to perform new functions. In other words, if you burn yourself, those cells died and they're taken off and new cells replace them and do the same function that the old cells were supposed to do. Cells that are damaged or no longer needed die to make room for healthy replacements -- burn is an excellent example. If the balance of cell growth and death is disturbed, a tumor may form. Again, think of this picture with the circles and the squares. Now let's consider the cells. They all have a function and when an abnormal cell starts replicating itself it takes over space of the normal cells and makes it difficult for them to function, then you're going to cause a tumor. So you saw those dark cells, let's say that those dark cells circles don't work as well as the normal light-colored circles cells. That would cause a tumor because they're not working properly. Now, when those not normal dark cells start replicating themselves that's a problem, that's malignant. They start growing and they're taking over and mutating and they don't work as well as the normal light-colored cells. They're similar but they're not the same; therefore, the body can't function as properly as it needs to.
