hi.
it is best if you consult with a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon with specialization on spine, for clinical evaluation. medical and physical examination will be done. diagnostics (such as imaging and a possible tissue biopsy of the mass) will be requested as needed. we could not tell specifically what kind of lesion that is unless a biopsy is done. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
