Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I also have disc shaped lump on back upper mid left of spine. I get an ultrasound Monday so I will share what it is when I find out. My question is that if it is cancer what kind would it be??? I m sure a few different ones but as much research as I do it just says tumor. Anyhow thanks.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. In most cases this is just a swollen lymph node which doesnt require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
