What Does A Large Lump On Spine Indicate?

Hello Dr. Grief,

I have a large lump along my upper spine area under the skin it was originally only a pimple size and over the years has grown to be a size of a marble. It's not painful but I have a lot of upper back pain. I also have a medical history of benign growths.
