A fatty lipoma is classified as a benign tumor/growth of fatty tissue!

Hi dolcesam and welcome to the forum.
It is most likely an osteoma (bone growth)
or a fatty lipoma. They can be both removed by
getting a small incision, but first he'll probably
need a diagnosis by having an examination by a
doctor, followed by X-rays.
I would recommend seeing - preferably- a competent facial plastic surgeon for this.
I hope this helps.
