What Does A Cyst On Upper Arm Of A Child Indicate?
Hi. My Grandson who is 4 has had a fever and cough for over a week. My daughter took him to doctor and he had a chest xray. His upper arm got in the picture and the doctor saw a cyst. He has to get his arm exrayed tomorrow. Is there anything to worry about?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is difficult to say without seeing the patient or X-ray.
Probably it is a benign cyst arising from soft tissue or bone.
It may need excission, better consult surgeon.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
