What Causes A Lump On The Back?

Hi my daughter is six weeks and has a lump on her back thats about 1in by 1in and it comes and goes. I noticed it the day we were suppose to be discharged from the hospital. The ped ordered a ultrasound and everything was normal. Do you think its a Cavernous Hemangioma Birthmark

hi..

if the lump is red and on manual compression if it reduces, then you can think of cavernous hemangioma.
you must give further information to make appropriate diagnosis
1. is it present since birth?
2. color of the lump?
3.is this reducible manually?

am happy to reply back to you if you send me the photo of the lump
