The tumors, all benign, are three different types, Mass General Brigham Newton-Wellesley Hospital outside Boston said. The hospital said an investigation found no environmental risk.

Mass General Brigham Newton-Wellesley Hospital said that in total, 11 employees from the fifth-floor maternity unit identified health concerns. The hospital said its investigation was completed in collaboration with government health and safety officials and it considered multiple possible sources. It ruled out disposable masks, the water supply, nearby x-rays, and chemotherapy treatment on the floor below, the hospital said.
