Dr. Kevin Yoo answered

Odds are no.: Headaches are very very common. Brain tumors are very very uncommon. So, if you have a headache the odds are that a brain tumor is not causing the headache. However, headaches are one of the most common presenting symptoms of brain tumor. Therefore, if you have a brain tumor, the odds are that you will have a headache.
