Posted on Thu, 10 Aug 2017

Question: I have been asking about a lump I found in January next to my daughters spine. It has shrunk but isnt completely gone yet. Went for a recheck today and doctor said its smaller to just leave it. I now have the mri and ultrasound reports. Can you read them and give me your opinion if we are ok tonwatch and wait?

Absolutely correct, wait and watch...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic..
I thank you for posting your query here..

I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases day in and day out..
I read your question and the reports in detail...

Please note..
1. The report does not say anything grave..
Absolutely nothing to worry for..

2. If it's hematoma as per the MRI report, then it will subside on its own, over a period of time..

3. Stop worrying and be tension free..

4. But keep a track, if the swelling increases in size anytime, please report.

Hope this helps you..
In case you need further assistance please let me know.
Or, you can close the question and rate..
Take care..

Do you agree with the hematoma diagnosis based on the mri report? Its been 6 months since it was done and while the lump is smaller its still there. Doctor said at this point it may or may not go completely away.

Brief Answer:
Yes, I am convinced with the report

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back..
Yes, I agree with your doctor.

Report is also correct I feel..
Because, hematoma does not disappear overnight, it takes time..

Sometimes, few years..
But most of the times, it will disappear.
Do not worry..

Take care..
