What are typical signs and symptoms of a neoplasm?

Neoplasms, which are abnormal growths of tissue resulting from uncontrolled cell division, can present with a variety of signs and symptoms, depending on their type and location. One of the common presentations includes neurological symptoms, such as headaches, nausea/vomiting, and seizures, particularly if the neoplasm is located in the brain or affecting the central nervous system. These symptoms are indicative of increased intracranial pressure or irritation of the brain tissue, which can occur with tumors in the cranial cavity.

The other options include symptoms that can be associated with a range of other conditions and are not as specific to neoplasms. For example, fevers and chills may indicate an infectious process, while a lack of energy and appetite can stem from numerous conditions, including chronic illness or depression. Unexplained weight loss is a possible symptom of neoplasms as well, but it is not as directly tied to the acute neurological symptoms seen in option B. Thus, the combination of headache, nausea/vomiting, and seizures provides a more immediate and specific set of symptoms associated with certain types of neoplasms, particularly those affecting the brain.
