What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump On The Top Of My Spinal Cord?

Hello, this question is actually not pertaining to myself at all but rather for my Fiance. I work I healthcare and know that anything is possible. He insists on not seeing a doctor. He is 28, and recently in the last 3 weeks had a lump develop at the top of his spinal cord/ base of neck. It doesn't hurt constantly but says it's sore 90% of the time. What could have brought this on all of the sudden? He did play basketball for a couple of hours and it seemed to pop up shortly after..
