What Cause Lump On The Shoulder Blade?
Just last evening, noticed a raised area (feels like lump) at the right of left shoulder blade. Is not on the other side. Not sore to touch...not red or bruised...feels like fatty tissue under skin. Plan to get apt. with Dr. on Mon. but am concerned.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No need to be concerned. Most likely this is a kind of benign soft tissues lesion. As it feels like fatty tissue, lipoma is the most probable diagnosis. This kind of lump do not turn into cancer. It can slowly grow.
Doctors consult is a good idea. In case of doubts an ultrasound can be done. The lump can be removed with small incision.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
