You'd need a much more detailed examination process to tell how benign or not that granuloma is. An MRI with contrast for example would likely be the test of choice in order to further characterize that lesion. If it turns out just to be a calcified granuloma then, unfortunately, again you have to find out what caused that inflammatory reaction in the first place in order to know how or if there is some type of treatment. You may wish to bring this question in the PREMIUM FORUM for further analysis. This is far too complex for short answers like this. Feel free to direct your question to DR. DARIUSH SAGHAFI (NEUROLOGY) and I will be happy to go over more details of your condition with you including review of your films and other work you've had done so far. Please rate this response with a STAR RATING if it contained useful information for your question.
