[|Human|] I recently found a lump (2-3 inches)on the middle of my back, right next to my spine. It feels soft. But it hurts to touch. I have numbness in my arms and they ache. Worse at night. I had cubital tunnel release a year ago. it did nothing to help. I have also been diagnosed with chiari malformation. Should I be concerned with the lump? What could it be?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or some cyst.  It has nothing to do with your preexisting disease.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Most of the soft tissue tumor need excision. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
