Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wide zone of transition is more characteristic of a malignant lesion than a benign lesion. This refers to the area where the abnormal tissue and normal tissue meet, and a wide zone of transition suggests that the abnormal tissue is invading surrounding normal tissue. Benign lesions typically have a well-defined border and a narrow zone of transition. Small size and slow growth rate can be seen in both benign and malignant lesions, while a peripheral sclerotic rim is more commonly associated with benign lesions.
