Have lung cancer can a lump on the outside of the head mean anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Lung cancer may spread outside the lung either locally or via blood or lymph channels. A lump on your head may or may not be related but it should be checked by a physician and may need to be biopsied depending on what it looks and feels like.
