Do Brain Tumors Affect The Legs?

My Friend was having difficulty walking and was recommended to see a neurologist. He ordered a cat scan and they found a fair size tumor. She is going for a MRI to determine what kind of tumor it is. She was told the Timor maybe benign. My question is what kind of brain tumors effect the legs?
