Well, a tumor isn't supposed to be there in the first place. When one grows, it pushes aside tissue that is supposed to be there. Presumably that tissue re-occupies that space once the tumor is removed (though I grant it might take a while for the displaced tissue to decompress, and some tissue might have been compressed for so long that it will never decompress fully).

Why I know this is more boring than the fact that I know this stuff. I have a writer's guide to wounds and injuries. It's called "Body Trauma." Very good stuff.
