A NEOPLASM is best described as:
a. Scar tissue
b. Tumor
c. Normal tissue growth
d. Brain tissue
Explanation: A neoplasm or tumor is known as an abnormal growth of tissue. Tumors can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant) and is caused when cells divide excessively within the body. Some examples of neoplasms are skin cancer, cervical cancer and lymphoma with the general understanding of cause to be an immune system deficiency. Cells are typically managed by a complex system of growth and death. However, when disturbed by environmental toxins, alcoholism, obesity, etc, a neoplasm may form.
