What Does A Mass On The Shoulder Back Mean?

My 16 year old daughter has a mass on the back of her shoulder. It is painful ( pains getting worse), growing, and she is now passing out ( and has ringing in her ears) and fatigue. Any suggestions? She has seen 7 doctors...this has been going on for 10 months.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The mass should be diagnosed at it is really hard to tell what exactly it is without seeing it. Shoulder mass rather does not cause passing out. There must be something else responsible for this symptom.
The lump should be diagnosed with ultrasound and MRI (if necessary). Passing out can be caused by low blood pressure, heart issues, low glucose level and many more. Proper diagnostic is necessary.

With the lump I suggest you to consult general surgeon. With passing out please consult neurologist and cardiologist.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
