Busy Philipps Undergoes Two Surgeries for Rare Brain Tumor Detected by MRI
Actress Busy Philipps revealed she underwent two brain surgeries after a full-body MRI detected a rare malignant tumor called oligodendroglioma. Initially healthy and nearly canceling the scan, she discovered the 2.6-centimeter tumor, which required removal. After the first surgery, an infection led to a second operation. Experts describe oligodendroglioma as a treatable brain tumor with generally favorable survival rates, often showing symptoms only when affecting brain tissue.
