What Causes A Bad Odor From The Body While Sleeping?

I ve been experiencing a very pungent phantom smell that mostly occurs when I m sleeping. It s so strong it wakes me up. However, I just experienced it while awake. This has happened to me before years ago, then it just stopped. Now it s happening again. I m afraid that I might have some type of brain tumor. Should I be conccerned?
