A member asked:
My 3 year old grandson has a dime sized hard knot above his left temple. can this be a type of benign cyst? no pain or any other symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: If it is hard and does not move when pushed it may be a calcium deposit on the skull bone. These occasionally occur above the brow and can remain for years or indefinitely. They can sometimes be removed surgically through an incision within the brow but can recur. The same would apply to any cyst. An exam may be able to sort this out.
