Encephalomalacia, anyone?

Mri results came back that I have stable encephalomalacia in the left frontal lobe. I had a benign tumor removed from my left frontal lobe in 2014. I’ve had checkup MRIs done often since then and have never had encephalomalacia mentioned. I assumed this would begin shortly after a brain surgery, showing on scans.

Has anyone else had brain surgery, then diagnosed with encephalomalacia later on? Has it progressed for you? Your similar experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
