Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encapsulated tumors are more likely to be benign because they are surrounded by a well-defined capsule which prevents them from spreading into surrounding tissues. Metastatic tumors, on the other hand, are malignant and capable of spreading to other parts of the body. Infiltrating tumors also have the potential to be malignant because they invade surrounding tissues. Congenital tumors are not necessarily benign or malignant, as they are simply present from birth but may still be either type.
