  • Babies normally have bumps, ridges and soft spots on their head. When should you worry? Parents often worry about lumps and bumps on a baby's head. Babies normally have bumps, ridges and soft spots on their head. This can cause the forehead to seem to bulge on one side or an ear to appear closer to the face than the other ear.
  • I'm the same person who posted here earlier on 02/22/09 - 15:12. So these bone bumps/lumps on forehead are solid and don't move anywhere. These can be named either a bone exostosis (a new bone formats on the bone surface) or osteoma (a new piece of bone grows on another piece of bone). Though, I don't know what is the main difference between those terms.
  • Helpful, trusted answers from doctors: Dr. Calame on soft lump on forehead: Please discuss concerns with physician. It is not possible to determine what the lump is without an exam.

Soft Lump On Forehead Above Eyebrow

The simplest and the most common cause of forehead lumps is simply a reaction to the fact that you have hit your forehead on the hard surface at some point. When this happens, a lump may form and be quite painful to the touch. This is not a cause for concern, and the lump should go away on its own in a few days. Aster v7 2.21 crack. Sinus issues.

QUESTIONS

  1. What is the differential diagnosis for forehead masses?

  2. What important clinical features define forehead lipomas?

  3. How are these lesions best managed?

  4. What is the risk of malignant transformation?

DISCUSSION

Common forehead masses include dermoid cysts, hemangiomas, lipomas, epidermal inclusion cysts, and osteomas. Lipomas are the most common tumor of mesenchymal origin, and frontalis-associated lipomas are based on 4 subtypes: intramuscular, arising from within the frontalis muscle of the forehead; submuscular, between the frontalis and its deep investing fascia (galea); subgaleal, between the galea and the periosteum; and subperiosteal. These masses are most commonly found in men 40 to 70 years old. They often develop independent of trauma and have no genetic basis.,

Forehead lipomas are diagnosed clinically. Lipomas are slow-growing, singular masses rarely exceeding several centimeters in size. Patients are often asymptomatic and deny pain or tenderness over the lesion. Subcutaneous lipomas are soft and pliable, whereas subgaleal lipomas tend to be fixed and firm, (Fig 1). These masses are easily distinguished from the taut, fluid-filled, epidermal inclusion cyst or hardened osteomas. Diagnostic modalities including ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging can further identify the lesion and its boundaries and aid in surgical planning.

While these lesions may be managed by observation, the forehead is a cosmetically sensitive area and most patients elect for surgical excision. A minimally invasive endoscopic approach has been described for subcutaneous lipomas to reduce scarring, avoid injury to the supraorbital and supratrochlear neurovascular bundles, and reduce postoperative pain. For deeper frontalis-associated lipomas, direct en bloc resection is often required to successfully excise the tumor.,

Forehead lipomas are generally benign with no malignant potential, and excision is considered curative. However, liposarcoma must be differentiated from other benign mesenchymal tumors on the basis of histologic findings such as poorly defined margins or immature and polymorphic cells.

Our patient underwent direct surgical excision. The skin was incised transversely through forehead rhytid and the dissection directed to the frontalis muscle (Fig 2), which was incised vertically to avoid neurovascular injury and identify the tumor fixed to the galea (Fig 3). Blunt dissection continued along the perimeter of the tumor to ensure complete resection (Fig 4). Pathology identified the mass as mature adipose tissue consistent with a subgaleal lipoma. To restore functional integrity of the muscle, a layered closure was performed. Any indentations or contour irregularities caused by the tumor naturally remodeled over time.
