Hard Lump On The Skull. Had A Head Injury In Childhood. Is That The Reason?
Hi Doc,I have a hard lump on top of my skull (I believe it is forward on the parietal bone close to the coronal suture ) It is not painful and appeared in the last 3 months or so.I am 49 years,male,weigh 195 lbs. and am 5'11" tall.I had a head injury when I was 6 years old.Got hit by a car (my babysitter ! ) and bounced down the street.Spent a few days in the hospital then,and have had no lingering after effects.When I press on it,it feels firm and tender,but other than that is not bothering me.Any advice,thanks.Paul in Edmonton,Alberta.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From history it seems that you might have,
1, Lipoma,
2,Dermoid cyst or
3, Cebaceous cyst.
It might not have any relation with your accident in the childhood.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and bye.
