I've had a lump on my back under my left shoulder blade for about a year; between the size of a nickel and a quarter. Some days it felt hard and rubbery; other days it felt liquid filled. Some days it was red in color, some days it was red on top and white below it.

Some two years ago I noticed a lump that popped up on the back of my shoulder. I was about the size of a quarter, well underneath the skin, and wasn’t solid. At that time, I had it examined, and it was determined it wasn't cancer. Doc determined that it was just a fluid pocket or growth.

Shoulder Cyst. I have recently been diagnosed as having a shoulder cyst. I have been suffering all of the same symptoms as Timma for years and have constantly been fobbed off by being told to exercise and stretch, (I'm an exercise teacher for goodness sake..!) and have now had two injections in my shoulder.

Now my shoulder is in so much pain, so I called the doc. to see what the results were. he said that he didn't get a chance to look at them his self but the radiologist said that I had a cyst in my shoulder. The doc. then said that it should go away in a couple of days.

The right shoulder mass, measuring 26 cm × 26 cm × 12 cm by clinical estimation, had visible superficial veins and was firm in consistency, nontender, well-circumscribed, and lobulated. There was no limitation of movement of the joint. On the basis of the clinical findings, we made a diagnosis of subcutaneous lipoma.

Ganglion Cyst Shoulder. A Ganglion Cyst is a bump or mass that forms under the skin. Most commonly, ganglions are seen on the wrist (usually the back side) and fingers, but they can also develop on the shoulder, elbow, and knee. These form when tissues surrounding certain joints become inflamed and swell up with lubricating fluid.

The diagnosis is generally made on clinical grounds, without recourse to radiological workup. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We present this case series of shoulder lipomas seen in our practice. The emphasis is on the presentation, radiographic findings, treatment, and outcome of treatment.

On examination, a firm, nontender, well-circumscribed, mobile mass was found over the right shoulder, extending to the area over the right trapezius. Her vital signs and shoulder movement were essentially normal. We arrived at a clinical diagnosis of subcutaneous lipoma and the mass was excised.

The lump is not on the shoulder blade, but kind of in the muscle above it, if that makes sense. So, being the worry-wart I am, i freaked out. I asked my mom to check it out and she didn't really know what it was, that everyone has lumps and to not worry about it. That wasn't the answer i was looking for.

Guest over a year ago. If the lump on your shoulder is under the skin and it feels almost like half of a bouncy ball, it is probably a ganglion cyst. In my experience cysts are hard but you can push on them just a tiny bit, unlike a bone. Cyst often will grow in your wrist but they can grow on other joints as well.
