It can be dangerous if not operated appropriately such as for malignant type (Cancerous), but if it’s benign (non-cancerous) will be checked further whether it can grow and destroy the other part organs or not. Medical condition symptoms and tumor sign would be tested in Laboratory for detail analysis.
