What is a Bladder Tumor?
A tumor can form in any part of the body, and the bladder is no exception. A bladder tumor forms when bladder cells overgrow, an event that causes a mass or lesion to form. Often, excess bladder cell reproduction creates a mass that is somewhat like a wart in the bladder. Bladder tumors can be benign, which means they stay in one place and do not spread to other tissues. They can also be malignant, meaning they are cancerous and capable of moving to other parts of the body. It is malignant bladder tumors that are potentially life-threatening.
