Question 6

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Sometimes golf ball sized lumps can be evaluated by one's primary care doctor. Other times, the ER is better. It depends on details such as how long the golf ball has been there, how fast it is growing, what it looks and feels like, whether or not there are other symptoms, whether or not the patient is otherwise healthy or has complex medical issues, etc...  Calling one's primary doctor can help.

Needs evaluation: there are more questions which would need to be answered as well as an in-person evaluation to make a diagnosis.
Definitely make an appointment with your pediatrician for evaluation.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Fibroadenoma: There are a few tumors that are commonly found in young females.   From what you describe it is most likely a benign fibroadenoma.   It is best to see a physician for a proper evaluation and correct diagnosis, and these can be removed if they truly bother you.

See a doctor soon: It is important to have this checked out very soon - this could be an abscess (an infection that needs to be drained), the result of an injury or a cyst that needs to be examined.
