I had a brain scan earlier this year owing to a suspected stroke.The consultant sent me for a further, more intense,scan and it came back showing I had a Cholesterol Granuloma in the Petrous region of the brain.
Apparently this is a benign cyst which can grow slowly. Does anyone on here also have one?
It is quite rare.Just wondered how rare it was.

No. It doesn't appear to be linked to anything cancerous. It is quite rare and when I applied for travel insurance they classed it as a brain tumour. It's a little worrying as my brother died of a brain tumour when he was younger than me.
It is going to be watched and I will have a brain scan yearly. I dont appear to have any symptoms.
