Final answer:
The Types of Neoplasms include malignant and benign tumors, sarcoma, lymphoma, leukemia, germ cell tumor, and blastic tumor.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Types of Neoplasms or masses of new tissue include:
- Malignant neoplasm or malignant tumor: It is the actual cancer and can grow beyond the boundaries of the tumor, invading other tissues and forming metastases.
- Benign neoplasm or benign tumor: It is a tumor that stops growing by itself, does not invade other tissues, and does not form metastases.
- Sarcoma: It is a malignant neoplasm that arises from connective tissue or mesenchymal cells.
- Lymphoma and leukemia: These are malignancies of the blood-forming cells (hematopoietic cells).
- Germ cell tumor: It is a neoplasm that arises from totipotent cells and can be found in the testicle, ovary, or on the body midline in fetuses, babies, and young children.
- Blastic tumor: It resembles an immature or embryonic tissue.
