What Is The Treatment For A Hard Lump In The Chest Of A Child?

Hi my baby daughter (6months) has had an ultrasound scan today because on the top of her chest in the middle she has hard, round lump, the radiologist said it looks cystic but cant tell what it is for sure. Its about the size of a pound coin when touching. I am very worried what can I do because the docs do not not seem to be helping me.

if it is soft and movable,, it could be a cyst.. if it hard and immobile,then it could be lipoma,, but both are non dangerous and benign.. nothing to worry.. consult a general surgeon for a opnion.
