In this paper we study existence of nonradial stationary solutions of a free boundary problem modeling the growth of nonnecrotic tumors. Unlike the models studied in existing literatures on this topic where boundary value condition for the nutrient concentration $ \sigma $ is linear, in this model this is a nonlinear boundary condition. By using the bifurcation method, we prove that nonradial stationary solutions do exist when the surface tension coefficient $ \gamma $ takes values in small neighborhoods of certain eigenvalues of the linearized problem at the radial stationary solution.

Keywords: Free boundary problem, tumor model, nonlinear boundary condition, stationary solution, bifurcation.
