I read your question carefully and understand your concern.
A lipoma is a benign mass, which does not require surgery. The lipoma is not related to your epistaxis. In case the lipoma does not make any symptoms (headache, seizures) nothing has to be done.As it can be hard to diagnose the type of mass on CT, I would recommend doing an MRI to confirm the diagnosis and another one 1 year from now to assess the growth rate (most likely it is not growing at all).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Wu
