What could lumps and swelling on head suggest?
Patient: Hi my husband has lumps and swelling on his head which look a bit like a brain very strange we have looked up a lot of things nothing seems to fit he has had this for a while it doesn t hurt but after shving his head to nearly bald it s really bad what do you think? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has lump on head and looks like brain.  First of all he should check for any bony defect.  If there is no bony defect then its not brain. It can be due to some soft tissue tumor or skin adenexal tumor or dermoid cyst.  He should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
