What could cause a hard lump on the head that hurts upon pressure?
Patient: I have a hard lump on my head that has been there for a while and it’s hurts to press on it and I’ve been throwing up and having really bad headaches I’m really scared about what it might be I think it’s a tumour or something but my nana says it probably isn’t do you have any ideas of what it might be? Doctor: Hello,As per our clinical experience, an extracranial lesion will not give rise to throwing up. So if persistent throwing up is there, an intracranial extension of the tumor should be considered and CT scan of the brain must be considered needed for precise evaluation and management.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
