What Is The Lump On The Bottom Of My Thigh?

I have a lump on the bottom of my thigh about 4 inches above my knee, there are novels on the skin and has been there for a few months, it doesn't hurt but feels it is getting larger slowly, it feels softish and I would say oval in size not perfect circle. What could it be?

Hi! thanks for writing to us and sharing the details of the lump on the bottom of your thigh!

Well, if I were your family physician, I would think of six possibilities in your case like:

1. lipoma or just a benign fatty tumor

2. neurofibroma, again a benign tumor

3. bursa like a degenerative/inflammatory pseudocyst

4. sebaceous cyst or some ganglion cyst

5. infective pathology like abscess/tuberculosis

6. some stromal tumor

Only an FNAC test/biopsy/ultrasonography could confirm the nature of this lesion; therefore see your doctor for this and revert back to us if necessary!

Hope you got the answer; wishing you good health...
