There can be many medical conditions that may cause a lump on the back of the head near the skull, including a cyst, a swollen lymph node in this area, and a tumor. Tumors in this area of the head can be either a benign lipoma or a cancerous growth. If the lump causes pain and is increasing in size, it should be checked by a doctor.
