appropriate definition of a neoplasm?
A. The term neoplasm refers to a

the same excessive manner
after cessation of the stimuli
which evoked the change
B. The term neoplasm refers to a
new growth of tissue in which
the growth rate exceeds and is

persists in the same excessive
manner after cessation of the
stimuli which evoked the
change.
