Adenoma
Definition
A form of benign tumor that structurally develops from the epithelial cells of a gland or from tissues exhibiting glandular structures. Although it is non-cancerous and does not metastasize, an adenoma can cause significant clinical problems by compressing neighboring organs or through the excessive and uncontrolled secretion of hormones, as occurs in endocrine glands.
