Is this a personal question or just a general question? Are you and yours ok? I believe a tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain while a lesion is a type of tumor.

A lesion is a general term for any abnormal area. When you cut your finger, that's a skin lesion. In the brain a lesion could be a tumor, an aneurysm, an abscess, etc. A tumor is a growth of some kind -- either benign (growing in size but without spreading to other parts of the body) or malignant (cancerous and able to spread to other parts of the body).

not sure, ask your doctor

A lesion is an injury. A tumor is a growth.
-
i think a tumor is worse and a lesion could probably turn into a tumor
