Can a benign brain tumor cause weight loss?

Yes, a benign brain tumor can cause weight loss, although it's not a common symptom. Weight loss may occur if the tumor affects appetite, metabolism, or causes hormonal imbalances. Additionally, symptoms like nausea or headaches can lead to decreased food intake, contributing to weight loss. If someone experiences unexplained weight loss along with other neurological symptoms, they should consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.
