glioma
A glioma is a type of tumor that originates from the glial cells in the brain or spine. Glial cells are the supportive cells in the nervous system that surround and protect neurons. Gliomas can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and are classified by the type of glial cell involved in the tumor. These tumors may cause various neurological symptoms depending on their size and location in the nervous system.

Glioma
A glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine. It is called a glioma because it arises from glial cells. The most common site of gliomas is the brain. Gliomas make up ~30% of all brain and central nervous system tumors and 80% of all malignant brain tumors.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Glioma
Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle. (From Escourolle et al., Manual of Basic Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p21)
