What Causes Lump On The Inside Of The Calf?
I have a lump on the inside of my calf of my left leg. It started being small and has grown. I have had this for several years and no one gives me any certain answer. It has probably grown to four times the original size and is very sensitive to any kind of pressure. I recently had a deep vein thrombosis test and some sort of blood flow test and they were normal. What could this be and what can I do to help with the sensitivity. I also have a problem with swelling with this leg.

Swelling in the calf for years without causing any symptoms like pain or ulceration,mostly likely to be a lipoma or benign soft tissue tumor.. A type of lipoma called neurolipoma can very painful when you touch...it's difficult to say what is it without seeing.. I advice you to get a aspiration test done from the swelling.. In medical term we call it FNAC.. If the swelling is not clearly visible go for an MRI of calf.. Hope I have answered your doubts..have a good day
