Is Growth Of A Extra Bone In The Skull A Tumor?
I have a lump on the back of my skull. I had an xray today and it looks like its another bone growing out of the skull. Is this a bone tumor? Or is it possible that is a sebaceous cyst ( I had a couple of pimples that have turned to sebaceous cysts in the past)?

Hello,
It could be an osteoma or other benign (non cancerous) lump. Cancerous tumor is unlikely. Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. You might require a CT scan also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
