General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. This could be a congenital benign cyst, which after a thorough clinical examination and related investigations like an FNAC, could be taken out and sent for a histopathology study (excision biopsy). This should cure the problem as most such lumps in this region would come out to be benigh.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your daughter's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
