What type of lesions are classified as non-cancerous?

Malignant
Metastatic
Benign
Pre-cancerous

The correct answer is: Benign

Benign lesions are classified as non-cancerous because they typically do not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. These lesions can be well-defined and can often be removed surgically without serious implications for the patient's health. Although benign lesions can cause symptoms or discomfort depending on their location and size, they do not exhibit the uncontrolled growth characteristic of malignant lesions. In contrast, malignant lesions are cancerous and have the potential to invade nearby tissues and spread to other regions, while metastatic lesions refer to cancer that has spread from its original site. Pre-cancerous lesions indicate changes that have the potential to develop into cancer if left untreated, distinguishing them further from benign lesions. Understanding these classifications is crucial for diagnosing and managing skin conditions effectively.
