Got a severe headache and my CT scan showed a 32mm calcified granuloma in the left frontal lobe. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?

A calcified granuloma, especially if it's 32mm in size and in the frontal lobe, is generally not life-threatening, but it's crucial to understand the potential implications and get a proper medical evaluation. Calcified granulomas are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms or are a sign of an underlying condition. Surgery is usually not necessary for a calcified granuloma itself
