Brief Answer:
Get MRI brain with contrast sequence and MRS

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and CT report and understand your concerns.
The CT description is of a mass in brain, which can be tumor, but other possibility like tuberculoma or brain abscess can not be ruled out.
For confirmation, Contrast MRI with MRS is required. Further testing and diagnosis can only be made thereafter.
You should consult a good neuro center for further investigation and treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
