I have no clue - that "benign" code as a cause of death always flummoxes me. The main reason it shows up in the ranking table for top causes of death for children, I think, is that almost nothing kills children. When you make a ranking table, -something- has to go there. So even if it's a low-probability occurrence, well, there ya go.
Is death by “benign cancer (neoplasm)” a result of unnecessary treatment?
