What causes hard lump on top of my spine?
Patient: i have a hard lump on the top of my spine between my shoulder blades, causing alot of neck and shoulder pain and numbness in right arm it has been there awhile but grown the last 6 months i am 33 yrs of ageits also causes pain down my back, what could it be Doctor: Hello!Thank you for the query.In this location most probable is benign soft tissues lesion which gives some compression on spine. It can be a sebacues cyst or lipoma. Both are benign, and do not turn into a cancer. I suggest you to consult your doctor, have soft tissues ultrasound to confirm this diagnosis. Such lump can be removed with local anesthesia and small incision.Hope this will help.Regards.
