What Causes Hard Lump On Upper Side Of Back?
My granddaughter is 13 years old In June. She is an identical twin. She was just having a bath and we have found a large lump on the right upper side of her back. It feels hard and hurts her to touch it she fell downstairs about 5 months ago but was checked at hospital and they just x rayed her hip. What do you think it could be extremely worried as her twin is awaiting surgery for a 45 degree twist in her spine

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It can be a soft tissues tumour like neuroma or a calcified hematoma following the last fall.
Better to show it to a surgeon for a physical examination and a needle biopsy or an ultrasound scan as he may judge the swelling.
Further management will depend on the reports of those tests.
