A brain tumour is a solid intracranial neoplasm, a tumour (defined as an abnormal growth of cells) in the brain or central spinal canal.

Brain tumours include all tumours located inside the skull or in the central spinal canal. They are created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either in the brain itself (neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, myelin-producing Schwann cells), in lymphatic tissue blood vessels), in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes (meninges), the skull, the pituitary gland and the pineal gland, or the spread of cancers located mainly in other organs (metastatic tumours).
