Any doctor: Ideally her primary care physician will place a consult for a neurosurgeon. Not all tumors have to be removed right away. If any symptoms attributable to the tumor, such as severe headaches, nausea, vomiting or vision issues would suggest urgent care/ emergency room.

Chol. granuloma: An intracranial cholesterol granuloma should first be discussed with the doctor who ordered the testing that discovered it initially. In general, neurologists and neurosurgeons deal with issues related to the brain. Feel better soon!

Wrong place to ask: This is a public information site based primarily in the US where volunteer physicians answer a range of medical questions. We are seen worldwide. We have no access to or knowledge of your local health insurance systems or clinics. When you have such questions you need to ask them of the organization that provides them.
