Brandi Glanville Says Doctors Found Benign Tumor in Facial Lymph Node

She says the noncancerous finding could account for years of facial swelling and fluid buildup after a prolonged, unresolved search for a cause.

Overview

  • Glanville disclosed the diagnosis on her podcast, saying a dermatologist named Dr. Tahari identified a benign tumor in a lymph node in her face and described it as not cancerous.
  • She said the result came from a blood test that showed the finding and suggested the lump could explain why fluid moves around her face and limits how long she can wear makeup.
  • The new report does not close the case because Glanville and outlets note lingering uncertainty, unanswered questions about why earlier tests missed the finding, and continuing follow-up care.
  • Her public account retraces a multi‑year struggle that began in 2023 with swelling and paralysis, included theories of a parasite and ruptured breast implants, dozens of doctor visits, hospital stays and large out‑of‑pocket costs.
  • The development could increase scrutiny of diagnostic delays and patient dismissal by doctors, and Glanville says she will continue treatment and testing as she seeks a fuller medical explanation.
