Unfortunately, you have not given enough information for a correct answer to be given to your question. The brain has gray and white matter. A white mass could mean something in the white matter but that is not the way it would usually be phrased. I suggest that your daughter call her doctor and ask for a clarification of the MRI findings and request an explanation of the possible, or differential diagnoses in her situation.
