Can I Remove This Lump On My Forehead?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a lump on my forehead, I want to come in to get it checked and possibly remove it.

A:Saying you have a lump on your forehead is a bit of an understatement. That is definitely a very large lump. A CT scan is needed to determine if this is a benign outer cortical bone growth (osteoma…which can be shaved down) or whether this is an osteoid osteoma (full thickness of the frontal bone involvement( which requires a craniotomy to remove.
