Could Calcification Cause Tumor?

Dear Doctor: My husband got the impression in the NECT Brain as Small parenchymal calcification in the right frontal region and we consulted the neurophysician and he did mention that it is not a big issue and have given medications.. Now I am too much worried after seeing the Internet that Calcification can be sometimes metastatic or tumor...Please help me with this.. His blood test is all normal...

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There are primary calcifications of the brain that don't cause any problems and it's true that some tumor lesions of brain ( mainly low grade gliomas) have calcifications within. I think that if there were a suspicion of such lesions on NECT I would recommend a MR scan of brain. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
