  My family doctor called it a "lesion," but the neurosugens call it a "tumor." 
Interesting how the family doctor downplayed it and the neurosurgeon told you the way it really is! ::)

You can also refer to it as a skull based tumor.

Either way, yours is on the large side, so extra special prayers for an uneventful surgery and recovery.

Will be following your progress. :)
