Hi Guys,

My wife has regular head MRI's because of brain mets. She has never had any systemic disease. The latest MRI Report states :

There is a partially enhancing subcutaneous nodule

with restricted diffusion overlying the right temporal bone. This has a diameter of 7mm and is consistent with a cutaneous deposit.

My wife had two crainiotomy's within two months 18 months ago. The lump has been there since the second one. We checked back on previous scans and we can see it for the past year. She had a biopsy on it today. Everyone is unsure what it is. Results should be about a week.

Has anyone had surgery for this? I've googled and contacted a few surgeons, and a few have said they will do it.

Thanks for your help.
