Suggest Treatment For Lump In Shoulder

My husband has a baseball size lump on the top front of his shoulder. It feels like a soft ball, but squishier. It is under the skin. He had not noticed it until tonight. Could something this large, grow this fast? There is no pain, it just feels tight when he raises his arm out. It looks quite odd. Any ideas?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM.
-I went through your query in-depth and Understood your health concerns
Remedy and Cause-
In my opinion lump in front of top of the Shoulder-is Sebaceous Cyst.
-But could be fibromyoma/ Lipoma-as being painless went un-noticed till this time
-So growth is not in a day but over many months or yrs.Its only today you noticed it
Remedy advised-
a-Consult a ER surgeon.
b-Get the Clinical reasoning from Him.If its SEBACEOUS CYST-Excision after Enucleation in toto-is the curative treatment for it.
c-If its benign tumour suspected by your Surgeon-FNAC BIOPSY would fix the tumor nature and would plan treatment by Excision / Enucleation of the benign lump.
Hope this would help you to work a plan with your doctor.
Wishing you early and fast recovery.
Wellcome to my HCM Clinic for further queries in this matter.
Wishing you Good Health ASAP.
Have a Good Day .
Regards,
