How To Treat Hypoechoic Lesion In An Infant?
Hi my daughter who is now 1 was born w/ a cyst on the left occipital region, we got a nonvascular extremity ultrasound & report is shows a hypoechoic lesion, approximately 1x0.7cm. There is no flow identified within this lesion. Differential possibilities for the observation would include a lymph node in this lesion. The possibility of a cyst is also within the differential. The appearance favors benign etiology. Now my ? is should i let a surgeon assperate it? & I m pretty worried 2

Hi...if the kid is not having any clinical symptoms because of this - the best policy is to wait and watch or masterly inactivity.
If I were your pediatrician I would follow up your daughter's development and growth pattern and if they are normal, I would assure you to stay put as of now as clinically the cyst is not creating any issues.
