What Causes Painless Lump On The Forehead?

I have a suddenly occurring painless lump on my forehead. Today I went in for removal of what everyone thought was a cyst. 40 minutes into the what was supposed to be a 45 minute procedure the MD stopped and said there was a deformity in the skull and the right thing to do was stop and get a CT scan. I’m really worried about what this might be. Of course my MD was not interested in discussing possibilities without more information. I’m terrified!!
