What Causes A Protrusion Between Shoulder Blades Of A Child?

My daughter has an unusual protrusion between her shoulder blades. We just noticed it this past week though I can t imagine it just appeared. She is ten years old, about 100 pounds and 5feet tall. Any thoughts? I am very worried and plan to call her doctor for an appt. in the morning. Thank you.

Hi
There can be several reasons for such protrusions or swellings. It depends upon the exact site, consistency, margins, extent, relationships to skin and associated systemic symptoms. So, a clinical evaluation will be useful. Most likely reason can be an abscess, vertebral spine, cyst etc.
