Lump On Leg Above Right Knee. Normal Ultrasounds And CT Scan. Advice?

Hi, I am 53 years old, female, I live in Saanichton, bc, not far from Sidney or Victoria, I have a mass / lump on my leg just above my right knee, I have had 2 ultra sounds and 1 CT scan and have found nothing, but lump is still there, a surgeon that I was seeing wants to do a Byopsy at end of August, he laughs at me and he is not very nice and makes me feel worthless, I can not find a Doctor that is accepting new patents, can you please please help me ????

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump above your knee is likely to be due to a soft tissue swelling. If it is not actively increasing in size or is not painful then it is likely to be due to a benign swelling. FNAC is the best way to find out.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
