MY 9 YEAR OLD SON HAS A BUMP ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK WITH STIFFNESS AND PAIN. THIS IS MAKING HIS SHOULDERS UNEVEN. HE HAS HAD THIS ONCE BEFORE AND RECIEVED AN X-RAY, WHICH REVIELED THAT THE LUMP HAD NO CALCIUM DEPOSITES IN IT. IS THERE ANOTHER TEST THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS? THANK YOU, WORRIED MOM
Hi, Dear,Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, You seem to suffer from-another neck lump due to Abscess, due to which the neck stiffness with shoulder disparity levels is there. The cause of this lump could be from ? Infection ? Tumor Necrosis with hemorrhage-hematoma with secondary infection?or could be from Scleroderma or from Cystecerciasis ?or from NHL. I would suggest FNAC Biopsy with HPR study reports with CT and MRI of the lumps to fix the exact cause of this lump. Don't worry about the cancerous nature of it, till the FNAC report rules out / or confirms it. Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
