What Could Cause Movable Lump In My Left Shoulder?

Hi, Im currenty 16 and have a moveable lump in my upper left shoulder. It's been there for over 3 years now and causes my shoulder to be extremely tense. I also had scoliosis surgery about 4 years ago and I think that might have something to do with it. In my suregery they screwed a titanium rod into my back.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

I read your query and understand your concern.

In my opinion that swelling has nothing to do with the spine surgery.

That swelling could mostly be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst.

I would suggest that you show it to ageneral surgeon for a clinical examination of the same and and get it removed at the same time, if he thinks it to be the same.

Regards
Dr. Ashish Verma
