Tumors are either benign where its removal solves all the problem or
malignant that usually will need treatment after its removal. However,
some organs produce a kind of tumor that is malignant in appearance of
the pathology but is benign in its behavior from the clinical point of
view; these what we call them locally malignant or border line. They
have good prognosis, usually do need extra treatment after surgery, only
follow up.
