Is It To Be Concern About The Lump In The Back?

hello doctor, This is khushboo Shah.. My DOB is 23.04.1984. Height – 5 feet 6 inches. Weight – 68 kgs. 2 months back, all of a sudden, I got a pull on my back while sitting on a chair and working on computer. On immediate check, I found that a lump has got formed on my upper mid back. I am so sure it was not there at all, before that day..it pained too..on medication from a doctor, the pain relieved and vanished. But the lump is still there..On examining, the doctor opined that it could be due to fat accumulation. However, he wasn’t sure about it. The lump isn’t hurting now though. But I am getting married this December and I am terribly worried for the lump. I am working upon losing weight recently.What if it hurts all of a sudden again sometime?PLease help and guide..what is the remedy for it? whom should i consult??

Pediatric Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to Healthcaremagic. Lump in upper back in the midline may be due to many things like lipoma, abscess, muscle hematoma etc. The most common is lipoma which is painless swelling.
In your case, it may be a lipoma which might have been detected incidentally, and the pain which had been there may be just a muscle spasm.
But, I would like to say that, please do a proper diagnosis with ultrasound of the region and an FNAC because certain other diseases like cold abscess also present in the same way and require an urgent treatment.
If, it is just a lipoma then, a simple excision will be enough.
You should meet a general surgeon and show your problem for the management.
