A member asked:
If a brain tumor grow outside your skull will it kill you right then?

Doesn't happen: A brain tumor will not erode through the skull. It can push on, and grow into, the brain and that certainly can be fatal but not by growing outside of the skull.

Your question: Makes no sense. Brain tumors grow within the skull. That's why they are called brain tumors.
