D30.3: Benign neoplasm: Bladder
You have abnormal tissue in the bladder. The tissue is benign.
When there is abnormal growth of tissue in an organ, then this is referred to as a tumor. The tissue in the body is made up of cells. A tumor disorder involves the cells multiplying more than normal. This results in abnormal or excess tissue forming. A tumor can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not destroy the healthy tissue and do not spread throughout the body.
This means you sometimes don’t have any symptoms with this disease. However, the tumor may cause the urine to no longer drain properly, for example. You may also have a feeling of pressure or pain. A tumor can also bleed.
