If a tumor is out your skull will it be hugh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unusual: It is very unusual for a tumor to grow out of the brain through the skull. Typically, the tumors that you can see externally arise from the scalp, the bone or possibly the dura (the lining over the brain). Cat scans or MRI scans are very helpful in delineating the size and extent of the tumor invasion.
