What Is The Movable Lump On My Calf?

I have this somewhat soft, moveable lump on my calf thats only visable when flexed. It s about 1.5-2 inches in size and it has been that size for like 2 years with no change in size. I have been playing sports prior to this too in high school as well. There is no pain in the lump as well.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

That can be a lipoma (fat swelling)....nothing to worry about it.

Can be easily removed without any complications..... if you want.
