Reason For Lump On The Side Of The Head?

my daughter discovered a hard lump on the side of her head. after an ultra sound doctor said it was a lipoma. it is hard, does not move and does not seem to give her any discomfort. should i get a second opinion? this developed over the last two years, she is a healthy 19year old

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. if the ultrasound report says it is lipoma then if you want to confirm the diagnosis get a FNAC done. nothing to worry it is a benign lesion, it will not harm you. if it is troubling esthetically then you can get it surgically removed. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
