What Causes Growing Lumps On Calf?

hi and thank you for your time. My sixteen year old daughter has formed some lumps or growths under her skin on her lower legs. They just appeared three to four weeks ago, starting with one lump on her right calf. she now has three lumps right calf, one large lump on right foot, and two new lumps on her left calf. ultrasound was inconclusive and they have scheduled a surgical biopsy for 10\8. Lumps continue to get larger each day. i am just seeking a possible explanation or explanations to ease her mind Thank you again

There could be several reasons like benign conditions (lipoma, neurofibroma or hemangioma) or could be some worse conditions like lymph nodes or varicose veins!

Please go for an FNAC test to relieve your tension.
