Hi.

A dent in the back of the head may require investigation, but I doubt it could be something so extreme as cancer. Although investigation will be required to find the cause, I doubt this is anything serious to worry about. Visit your doctor for a physical examination and if at all required a CT scan of the head as well.

Best wishes.
