Hello,

The lump on crown of head is possible soft tissue lesion as lipoma, sebaceous cyst or bony lesion as osteoma or others.

Better to get an x-ray and ultrasound of the skull to get the precise diagnosis and further management in accordance to that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
