Only if the people doing the analysis on the sample have made a mistake and it is not benign. If your doctor tells you it is benign then you are OK.

Benign means that it is NOT cancerous. If you mean can it eventually in unusual cases become cancerous, the answer is yes.

Yes. There are several. Simply put, any abnormal growth has the potential to become cancerous. However, "benign" growths VERY RARELY turn into cancer.

the definition of benign is that it is harmless. If it was cancerous, it'd be malignant.

No, not unless the diagnosis is wrong. You should always get check ups just to be certain, you know?
