Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
practically it cant be brain cancer since brain is inside the skull. If this was cancer then this was probably skin cancer and this recurence may be worryng. it should be widely excised and sent to patohistologc analysis. in most cases such lesions are ateromas or fibromas and it can recur but any surgeon should be able to handle with this and remove it permanently.
WIsh you good health. Regards
