Has Lump On Hip. No Pain. Size Increasing. Has Leg Pain. Cure?

This isn't for myself. My husband (48 years old) has a lump on his left hip...right below where your belt would be. It is not painful unless his belt and/or waistband is irritating it all day. We had an ultrasound performed however we never (believe it or not) heard anything back from the hospital. This lump is about the size of a quarter and seems to be increasing slightly in size. He also said that it seems to cause him leg pain (as though resting on a nerve). He just wants it removed/drained..whatever is necessary to get rid of it.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,
There are many possibilties...

your husband seems to have tumor underneath the skin. It may be fibroma. You should consult sugeon. He will diagnose. If neccessary , he will do biopsy from tumor.if it is fibroma, a benign tumor,surgeon will remove it completely under short G A or local anaesthesia.

If it is on anterior part below the abdomen, there is possibility of inguinal hernia. Surgeon will easily diagnose. He will operate and your problem will be solved.

So, consult surgeon and get perfect treatment.. Ok
