A member asked:
Firm and movable lump on the left of my occipital bone. what could it be???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lump: It may be a cyst or a lipoma. Both would be somewhat soft and rubbery though. It is best to get it checked by your PCP and then decide whether it needs to be removed or biopsied.
