Definition: Lesion is a non-specific term used in medicine to refer to a pathology of tissue. It indicates an area of tissue that has been injured, destroyed, altered (for the worse) or has a problem.
There are many types of lesions, from cancerous to non-cancerous. Lesions can also be classified according to criteria such as size, pattern or location.
Examples of lesions in the spine might include a herniated disk, or trigger points in a spinal muscle.
