A member asked:
How unusual is it to have a 6 mm lipoma located in the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does happen: It is not too unusual. Most of them are not symptomatic, and just incidental findings. At times keeping an eye on them with some repeat scans is not a bad idea. Have your neurosurgeon advice you on when he/she recommends a repeat study to ensure it stays stable.
