*A brain tumor occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain.
'''Includes'''
*There are two main types of tumors: malignant or cancerous tumors and benign tumors.
* Anaplastic astrocytoma of brain
**Cancerous tumors can be divided into primary tumors that start within the brain, and secondary tumors that have spread from somewhere else, known as brain metastasis tumors.
* Anaplastic glioma of brain
* Astrocytoma of brain
* Cancer of brain, ependymoma
* Cancer of brain, glioblastoma
* Cancer of brain, glioblastoma multiforme
* Cancer of brain, oligodendroglioma*
* Malignant neurofibramotosis of the CNS, combine with [[Brain, congenital malformation]] or [[Spinal cord, congenital malformation NOS]]
* Malignant germ cell tumor of brain


SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:
'''Excludes'''
*Benign brain tumors: code them as  [[Central nervous system NOS, benign neoplasm]]


*The signs and symptoms of brain tumors are broad, and generally correspond to the area of the brain that they are located in. The brain is divided into 4 lobes, and each lobe or area has its own function. A tumor in any of these lobes may affect the area's performance. The location of the tumor is often linked to the symptoms experienced but each person may experience something different.
 
**Frontal lobe tumors may contribute to poor reasoning, inappropriate social behavior, personality changes, poor planning, lower inhibition, and decreased production of speech (Broca's area).
{{ICD10 Guideline Cancer}}
**Temporal lobe: Tumors in this lobe may contribute to poor memory, loss of hearing, difficulty in language comprehension (Wernicke's area).
**Parietal lobe: Tumors here may result in poor interpretation of languages, decreased sense of touch and pain, and poor spatial and visual perception.
**Occipital lobe: Damage to this lobe may result in poor or loss of vision.
**Cerebellum: Tumors in this area may cause poor balance, muscle movement, and posture.
**Brain stem: Tumors on this can affect blood pressure, swallowing, and heartbeat.
