Derm made right choice. Not a brain tumor from what you say. Brain tumors died? That is almost unheard of.

A tumor in the brain should show up on an MRI of brain. MRA's (or MR angiogram's) are usually done more specifically to look at the blood flow, so in this case a tumor may be missed, if it is not specifically looked for. A brain tumor doesn't typically project outside and show up as lump on forehead so I think it is doubtful it's related to a tumor within the brain. Best of luck to you!

Bump/back of head/lower left side. NOT cyst or tumor. MRI shows nothing in that spot. At times it causes a tremendous amount of pain. Any advice, info, or recommendation is much appreciated. Have had it for about 5 yrs.
