Cat Scan Shows a "tumor" on my brain.

airsoft_warrior · 09-10-2009, 04:55 PM

I had a CT scan last week due to headaches. I found out today that there is a type of tumor in my brain that is more like a sis. It is usually found on the skin and is cut off. They arent normally dangerous. The doctors in the office have never seen this before and I dont know what is in store for my future. But your prayers are appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

melissa0031 · 09-10-2009, 05:26 PM

prayers sent, if you dont mind me askin where is the tumor located, on what part of the brain? and did they say if they could operate?

Jimirich · 09-10-2009, 09:21 PM

Cysts can be dangerous if they continue to grow and displace brain tissue.
Be sure to get and MRI with Gadolineum contrast in order to be sure what type of lesion it is.
Cysts are like bags of fluid, they have no vascularity (no blood flow) and do not grow and spread to other areas like cancerous tumors do.
Wishing you the very best.
pm if you got more questions. I'm not a doctor but a medical imaging technologist and can help you in understanding methods of imaging and what they entail.

mjp2 · 09-10-2009, 09:23 PM

Yeesh! Hope it turns out to be nothing major and you heal quickly!
