Tumefaction
A tumefaction refers to a localized swelling or lump on the body that is caused by an abnormal growth of tissue. Tumefactions can be benign or malignant and can occur in various parts of the body, including the skin, organs, and bones. Common causes of tumefactions include inflammation, infection, trauma, and cancer. The size, shape, and consistency of a tumefaction can vary depending on the underlying cause. Treatment for tumefactions may involve medication, surgery, or other medical interventions, depending on the specific circumstances.
