Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Shoulder
My son just turned 1, he has had a lump on the back of his shoulder near the spine since he was born. I has grown slightly in size. Doctors dont really know what it is, they seem not to worry, but should I presue it more with a specialist, if so what kind of specialist?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Before you will visit any specialist, you should consult your regular doctor and ask him to send your son for an ultrasound of this area. This test should answer what it is and if it needs any further action.
Specially which can be consulted is a surgeon.
Hope this will help.
Regards.

Hi.
The best specialist you can contact is a Pediatric Surgeon as he is exposed to the surgical problems of child-age group only and the reasons for lumps at neck are different in a child and an adult.
The lump you have described is by birth, hence there are more chances that it is hemangioma. Since it is not in the mid line it is difficult to say that it is meningocele . Ultrasonography with color doppler mode is the best investigation you can subject the boy to.
