lump on back of head causing pain
by akmb, Feb 21, 2008 10:21AM
A friend of mine has a small lump on the back right side of his head. It swells every once in a while which causes a headache that migrates toward the front. Then goes away. This has been going on for around 2 years. It's only on the right side. He has seen his pcp and they suggested it may just be a tension headache. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this??

It is difficult to tell what the lump is without some more information about it. How is the lump to touch ? Is it soft, cyst-like ? Does it increase on exercise, such as running ? Has the PCP seen the lump ? What was his comment ?
Is the lump there since 2 years ?

I am not convinced that lump is a normal thing. I would refer him to a General Surgeon, even if this is a "normal" lump. A General Surgeon's opinion holds weight. It looks to be related to the symptoms, as the pain starts when it swells.
I suspect some venous malformation.
