Benign brain tumors include meningioma, acoustic neuroma, grade I astrocytoma, most of the pituitary adenomas, neurocytoma etc.
Malignant brain tumors include high grade astrocytoma, oligodendriglioma, glioblastoma, lymphoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, metastatic brain tumors, etc.

i was told my mother had a mass on the frontal part of the brain, that can either be caused by 2 certain autoimmune diseases or a brain cancer, they said they saw no tumor.But i dont know what type of cancer attacks only the brain
Brief Answer:
Several cancers may affect only brain.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
There are several cancers that affect only the brain.
A mass in the frontal lobe may be for example a Meningioma.
Meningioma is a benign brain cancer exclusively affecting the brain.
Large plaque of multiple sclerosis also may represent as a mass too.
If you could upload the entire MRI report or, images, I could give you a straightforward answer.
Hope I helped you.
