Is Area Of Haziness In Head As Shown By CT Scan For Worsened Headache The Symptom Of Brain Tumour?

I have had a headache for 3 weeks and it is getting progressively worse. Some numbness on right side of face too. Went to the MD today and they sent me for a CT scan. They just called back and sinuses were clear but that the radiologist saw a area of haziness or gray area and I need to get an MRI. They said they were not going to call it a mass yet. What could this be? A brain tumor?

Dead sir

As per your symptoms you are having haziness in the media, cortical matter ... you cannot call yet as tumor, but you might need an mri scan to ruleout any disorders.

It might be a brain tumour or a vascular tumour. But confirm it by mri scans and further treatment will be decided after that

Thanks
