Wikipedia
neoplastic
A neoplasm () is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue. The process that occurs to form or produce a neoplasm is called neoplasia. The growth of a neoplasm is uncoordinated with that of the normal surrounding tissue, and persists in growing abnormally, even if the original trigger is removed. This abnormal growth usually forms a mass, when it may be called a tumor (UK tumour).ICD-10 classifies neoplasms into four main groups: benign neoplasms, in situ neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and neoplasms of uncertain or unknown behavior. Malignant neoplasms are also simply known as cancers and are the focus of oncology. Prior to the abnormal growth of tissue, as neoplasia, cells often undergo an abnormal pattern of growth, such as metaplasia or dysplasia. However, metaplasia or dysplasia does not always progress to neoplasia and can occur in other conditions as well. The word is from Ancient Greek νέος- neo 'new' and πλάσμα plasma 'formation, creation'.

neoplastic
Neoplastic refers to an abnormal growth of tissue or cells, often resulting in a mass or tumor. This growth can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The term is used to describe various conditions or diseases relating to the abnormal proliferation of cells, including various types of cancers. Neoplastic growth is associated with mutations or alterations in the genetic material of cells, which lead to uncontrolled cell division and growth.
