Lump On the Back of Head Posted: 10-16-03 07:53am


Not sure if this is the place to post this question but here it is. About 6 days ago, I noticed that my husband had a lump on the back of his head. It's about 1-2 inches up from the base of his neck and perfectly centered on the back of his head. It's roughly the size of a golf ball and is soft to the touch. It came up out of no where. He did not have any injury and we are concerned. I've read a lot about lipoma's but am not convinced this is one. It seems to be very rare for a lipoma to be located on the back of the head and his lump is larger and appeared more quickly than info. I read on lipoma's. Should we be concerned? Any one ever have something similar?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mary, I had a mole to come up 3 years ago. I thought it was a deer tick, but turned out to be a mole. Had it removed. Results came back....Melanoma....Now I have a 7 inch scar from surgery, not to mention another 2 inch scar from the lymph node removal. Am cancer free. My advise....According to my dermatologist, when something comes up suddenly, it needs to be checked out immediately. Life is not something to play with. Better be safe than sorry. This lump just came up from no where, and the size of it sounds concerning. Please have this checked out just to be sure. I hope everything comes out just great. Please keep in touch and let us know your hubby is ok! ^..^
