brain tumor
Growth inside skull
A brain tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue growing inside the skull.
Tumors may be benign or malignant, originating in the brain itself or spreading from cancer elsewhere in the body.
Symptoms depend on location and size—headaches, seizures, vision problems, personality changes.
