Are Soft-tissue Masses In The Ankles Cancerous?
Ankle mass cancerous. Went to the doctor the the other day for a small bump on my ankle I thought it was a cyst. The told me it was a mass that went up my whole calf and I need to see a specialist. I don’t have an appointment for a few days and I am just worried sick on what can be wrong and want answers. I have pictures and a report but can’t upload it

Hello,
Because of their relatively characteristic imaging appearance, in most cases of benign soft tissue lesions of the foot and ankle, a specific diagnosis can be suggested. Unfortunately, malignant tumors can also arise with nonaggressive imaging features.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
