Abstract

The chapter describes about the tumor, which is an independent and uncontrolled growth of new cells that serves no useful function. It can be benign or malignant. In between benign and malignant tumors, an intermediate group of tumors is also known. The tumors in this group are locally invasive, but usually do not spread by lymphatic or vascular route, e.g. pleomorphic adenoma of salivary glands, basal cell carcinoma. Benign tumors are adenoma, fibroma, papilloma, lipoma, neuroma, hemangioma, lymphangioma, hamartoma, and benign melanoma. Malignant tumors are classified as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, seminoma, teratoma, and malignant melanoma. Salient features, differential diagnosis, treatment and complication of various tumors are given along with clinical photographs.
