Hi, thanks for sharing your husband's health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were his treating Doctor for this case of a painful upper thigh lump, I would come up with two or three possibilities as follows:

1. an abscess possibly due to recent infection in the skin or hair follicle and could be related to heart disease also!

2. an infected sebaceous cyst or a dermatofibroma

3. a lymph node enlarged due kind of recent infection

Please take caution not to get him injured/poke there!

I suggest him to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your husband good health.
