brain tumour

Intracranial malignant mass

A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain.

Tumours may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but even benign brain tumours can be dangerous because they press on surrounding tissue in the confined space of the skull.

Symptoms vary by location but may include headaches, seizures, vision problems, or personality changes.

Also spelled brain tumor.
