Are Lumps On The Shoulders Indicative Of Cancer?

I have a pretty much, painless, mobile, rubbery feeling lump on my left shoulder blade. I am a bread baker and have been for 13 years and definitely can say that I put a lot of wear and tear on my uper back and shoulders. What could this be, should I be concerned about cancer? I m 33 and don t feel like I m sick at all.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma. Chances of cancer is very low. Still for the safe side you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump.
It will give you idea whether it is simple tumor or cancer. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
