Could Scoliosis With A Growth Spurt Cause A Chest Lump?
My 9 year old son woke up 2 days ago with a painful lump on his chest. I took him to our family doctor and she took xrays and the xrays showed a curve in his spine. She is sending us to a specialist because she thinks he might have Scoliosis. Could a growth spurt and having Scoliosis caused this lump?

Hello,
There is no association between a growth spurt & scoliosis and the painful chest lump that your son has. Could the lump have been the result of an injury?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
