No….not branching out into obstetrics!
This ultrasound shows a subgaleal a benign tumour of adipose (fatty) tissue that was deep the muscle of the forehead and hugging the surface of the skull.
This also means it’s deep to the frontal branch of the facial nerve, providing movement to the forehead and eyebrow.
A little thing, but troublesome for its owner, removed via a direct approach. The result? Complete excision, almost invisible scarring as early at 6 weeks and a happy patient. Oh, and full movement of the forehead and eyebrow preserved.
