No, atherosclerosis is not a tumor.
Here’s the difference:
| Term | What it is | Cause | Nature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atherosclerosis | A disease of the arteries | Buildup of fatty plaques (cholesterol, immune cells, etc.) in the arterial walls | Inflammatory and degenerative, not a neoplasm |
| Tumor (or neoplasm) | An abnormal growth of cells | Uncontrolled cell proliferation | Can be benign or malignant (cancer) |
Key points:
- Atherosclerosis involves plaque formation, not uncontrolled cell growth.
- Tumors involve proliferating cells, often forming masses due to genetic mutations.
- While inflammation and cell proliferation occur in both, their mechanisms and outcomes are very different.
