What Is The Movable Lump On His Shoulder?

My grandson was born with a moveable lump on his shoulder he is now 7 weeks old and the lump has been continually growing and is now odd shaped. The will be doing a bioposy on it on the 14th if the tube will be able to go down his throat and he doesn't have trouble breathing. He makes noises when breathing.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Although it needs a physical examination of the lump before opining on it, this could be a cystic hygroma or a lipoma, but the fast growth confuse it. So, I think one has to wait till the biopsy report comes. You could talk to your doctor for consideration of a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) as an initial step before going for an excision biopsy under general anaesthesia.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your 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.
