Posted on Mon, 20 Apr 2015
Question: Hello, I am 39 yeasr old male. Recently, i have realized a small lump near the joints of the left shoulder. It is a hard lump that moves. it is kind of deep and not apearing on the skin, i just feel it when i press through the skin and it doesn't hurt. Any idea what this could be?. I am sure it came out of sudden and was not there couple of months ago, and doesn't grow in size either.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged lymph node, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
