Spina bifida: And lumps elsewhere are typically not connected. Have the lump checked out for sure!

See below: The two conditions are not likely to be related. An urgent care center or your local doctor can help you with the lump on your chest. This may be just a cyst, but should be checked out.

Yes: Even at your young age, a lump on your chest needs to be investigated. Speak to your doctor about what would be the most appropriate test.
