A benign tumor or abnormal growth composed of cells, generally referring to a non-cancerous cellular mass.
From Greek 'cyto-' (cell) + '-oma' (tumor, mass). This term follows the medical naming convention for tumors and distinguishes benign growth from malignant cancer.
A cytoma is actually good news in the doctor's office—it means abnormal cell growth without the danger of cancer, though it may still need to be monitored or removed.
