What Causes Hard Lump On Injured And Healed Skull?

I am a 31 year-old male. Twenty years ago I chipped my skull in a 3-wheeler accident and a small sliver of silicon was "fused" into my skull. (If I remember correctly.) This was in the crown of my head and remained somewhat sensitive from then on. I now have a rather large lump in this spot. It seems pretty hard, but not solid. Any ideas?

hi dear thanks for the query on HCM

since you had a skulll defect the prosthetic was placed which could help you to regain the shape and the calcification.
you need to consult a neurosurgeon and get it examined. he would order a ctscan head to look at the present condition and suggest you the best treatment required.

thank you
