[|Human|] HelloMy friend has just rung me as she is worried about a golf ball sized lump she has found at the top of her daughters spine, which her daughter says is painful to touch. Her daughter also c/o headaches. I tried to reassure her that it may well be a cyst. Can you tell me your thoughts on this please?Thank youHelen
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The most likely cause of the swelling over the spine could be a cyst. Other causes could be lipoma or neurofibroma. These are benign conditions and there is no need to worry about them. The diagnosis can be further clarified by clinical examination. If it is possible, please upload a clinical photograph. It would help in clinical diagnosis. For confirmation, a biopsy of the lump may be required. There is no need to worry about it now. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
