Chronic pain in forehead months after sinus surgery

I just had a Biopsy, a left skull base tumor Sinus Cavity, Contents, Left, left nasal sinus contents
The findings are: Left skull base tumor, endoscopic biopsy: - Intraosseous hemangioma. C. Left middle turbinate, endoscopic resection: - Intraosseous hemangioma.
The doctor told me it's a rare tumor and I am worried about this. I have no symptoms or pain.
Has anyone had or heard about this type of skull-based tumor? Thanks

My husband was diagnosed with mucosal melanoma in his right sinus cavity. He had two surgeries to remove the tumor and part of the tumor was embedded in his skull base. He is now having proton radiation treatments (33) that are targeted into the sinus cavity and his neck lymph nodes. After he completes the proton treatment, he will have immunotherapy infusions for a long period of time. We have nothing solid yet on what drug will be used or the length of treatment. It is essential that you have an accurate diagnosis of your tumor and a doctor who is experienced in the sinus area. We have found it difficult to find research dealing with rare sinus tumors. I believe the key is to find a doctor to help with that. Someone who has experience with sinus tumors.
