A lesion can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneity or Heterogeneity reflects the diversity of tissue components within the lesion. A heterogeneous lesion has a more chance of being malignant.

malignant

In this context, in my opinion, the physician means that the clinical suspect is that of a "cocal cord cancer". These terms are widely used in Italian medical reports (e.g. secondarismo, eteroplasia, lesione discariocinetica, etc)

heteroplastic

as opposed to eterogeneo (heterogeneous)

That is, literary, formed from something other. So, strictly speaking, neither meta– or neoplastic.
