[|Human|] 33 yr old female, noticed a lump at base of skull, back of neck one year ago. At that time it was about the size of a grape and kind of lumpy. Now, it is hard as a rock and the size of a golf ball. I notice it more when head is tilted up. I get severe headaches, 2weeks straight now. Feels like my head and neck is FULL , pressure. I am concerned because I was told it could be a lipoma about a year ago and to keep an eye on it. But, I am worried because it is getting larger and tender. My neck also feels stiff. Is this something I should be concerned about?
[|AI|]  Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it seems to be a benign condition due to its slow growth, if I were your doctor, I would go for a CT scan/MRI of the head and neck area to rule out any possibility of the lesion communicating with the inside of skull however remote might be the chances. Further management would depend on the report of the radiological investigation and a physical examination of the lesion. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
