My husband has a lump in his head the dr, Remove this syst like twice now .The dr. wants to remove it once more it keeps filling up with fluid? The first time it was removed (taken out ).It was cancer. What can it be ?could this be cancer of the brain? Thank you
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Practically it can't be brain cancer since brain is inside the skull. If this was cancer then this was probably skin cancer and this recurrence may be worrying. It should be widely excised and sent to patohistologc analysis. In most cases such lesions are atheromas or fibrosis, and it can recur, but any surgeon should be able to handle with this and remove it permanently. Wish you good health. Regards
