What Can Cause A Lump In The Leg?
I have a circular, soft, squishy bump on the posterior part of my leg about midway down my tibia. I only can feel it when I am squatting. I cannot feel it when I am laying down. Thoughts? Naturally, lumps are scary, so I feared cancer and DVT right away.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The soft lump over back of leg suggests possible lipoma, sebaceous cyst or other soft tissue lesion.
I would suggest you to get an ultrasound examination done for the local part and get thorough guidelines accordingly with your doctor or else you can upload report here and discuss with me future management guidelines.
Wish you fine recovery.
Take care.
