Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. The exact cause of lump can be found out by doing a
biopsy. I am sure the surgeon would have sent the lump for examination by pathologist. The report may take 4-5 days to be ready.
The common causes for the lump in that region of spine include
meningioma, and
neurofibroma. Both of those are benign tumours. Surgery is the definite treatment. Sometimes,
radiation therapy may be required in some cases after the biopsy report.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
