I m a 38 y/o male with a lump on my spine between my shoulders under the skin. I have right handed tingling that turns into numbness when I lay on my back. I am currently waiting for a change in PCP and need an idea of how urgent this could be. I have family history of cancer on both sides.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Considering your description this may be benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibrous or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. And if there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
