Can An Oligodendroglioma Tumor Recur After A Segmental Resection?

Hi, I was wondering if a benign oligodendroglioma I brain tumor could regrow after 22 years of resection? I have a brain tumor that was removed partially 22 years ago. However, I have been having seizures lately who are showing different as before, so I thought if this could be a reason why my tumor might be growing?

Hello,

Sorry to say, but it can recur even after prolong time. An MRI should be done to see for it and treat accordingly.
