## Definition

A benign brain tumor is a non-cancerous growth in the brain that typically does not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Despite being non-malignant, benign brain tumors can still cause significant health issues due to their location and pressure on surrounding brain structures, leading to symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and neurological deficits.
