HI- I Just Noticed This Strange Bump On My Right
Question: HI- I just noticed this strange bump on my right calf when I flex the calf muscle - it feels like it might be made of muscle - there isn't one on my left calf. It is about 5cm long 2.5 cm across and sticks up about 1.5 cm. I do a lot of biking - don't know if that is involved. There is no pain.
Brief Answer:
May be fatty tumor
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Going by the description it may a lipoma, a fatty tumor located above the muscle. It is benign and needs no treatment.
However, to establish the diagnosis you should get it physically examined by a physician. if he feels that it is inside the muscle then further investigations like MRI will be required.
Hope this helps.
Regards
