Malignant means evil, nasty or malicious and like that. They use it in medicine to mean a cancer, for all the obvious reasons.

Malignant is a term used to describe a life-threatening or worsening condition. In the case of tumours, malignant means cancerous.

Malignant is usually associated with cancer and that it will move (metasize) to another organ. It means virulent or life threatening.

Are you sure you don't mean "malignant"? It means: tending to produce death or deterioration as in "cancer is malignant".
