Plants get lots of tumors. If you look at the big knots or bumps on a tree they are usually tumors. The difference with plants and animals is that in plants any cancerous uncontrolled cell growths are usually immobile and can't spread, and therefore don't have much of an impact on the life or critical function of a plant.
