Ischaemic fasciitis, previously termed atypical decubital fibroplasia or decubital ischemic fasciitis, was thought to be a non-neoplastic lesion and to occur only in the deep subcutaneous tissue at pressure points or bone prominences but more recently has been found to be a benign neoplasm that can occur in a wider range of tissue sites.

In modern English, tumor (non-US spelling: tumour) is used as a synonym for a neoplasm (a solid or fluid-filled cystic lesion that may or may not be formed by an abnormal growth of neoplastic cells) that appears enlarged in size. [12] [13] Some neoplasms do not form a tumor; these include leukemia and most forms of carcinoma in situ.
Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare, benign non-neoplastic condition with no known cause. It is considered a fibrovascular defect. Campanacci described this condition in two leg bones, the tibia and fibula, [1] and coined the term. This condition should be differentiated from nonossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia of bone.
Angiomatosis is a non-neoplastic condition [1] characterised by nests of proliferating capillaries arranged in a lobular pattern, displacing adjacent muscle and fat. [2] It consists of many angiomas. [3]

Inflammatory pseudotumour is a generic term applied to various neoplastic and non-neoplastic tissue lesions which share a common microscopic appearance consisting of spindle cells and a prominent presence of the white blood cells that populate chronic or, less commonly, acute inflamed tissues.

A peritoneal inclusion cyst is a cyst-like structure that appears in the pelvis due to non neoplastic reactive mesothelial proliferation, often as a consequence of prior episodes of pelvic inflammation, as can occur in pelvic inflammatory disease.
Since plasma cell granulomas have the ability to occur at any site, even though they are uncommon, it should be included in differential diagnostics in regard to plasma cell neoplasms. [3] With granulomas that arise in the mouth, PCGs are commonly misclassified considering the malignancy of the disease due to its aggressive behavior and ...
