brain tumors

Intracranial abnormal growths

Brain tumors is the plural of brain tumor, an abnormal mass of cells growing in or near the brain.

Tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and may originate in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body.

Symptoms vary by location and size but often include headaches, seizures, or cognitive changes: The MRI revealed multiple brain tumors.
