-I attached a photo I took myself
-It hurts if it is poked hard but not if gently touched, some occasional mild pain in thigh/groin but not sure if its related, wearing tight clothes like jeans seems to irritate it. Seems to get bigger/bother me more after being active all day rather than the morning but not always.
-No skin color or temperature changes
-No pus or discharge
-No leg swelling or fever
-I do not have a copy of the ultrasound
Respected XXXX, hi it`s lymph-node/lipoma requiring surgery not MRI.
Detailed Answer:
Resepcted XXXX, Hi nice to get every answers with perfection from your side.
*Photograph reveals it as Lymph Node enlargement / Subcutaneous lipoma only.
*I strongly recommend you to get it Surgrically removed by Expert Consultant
Surgery in form of Excision & get biopsy of that to confirm internal contents.
*I strongly disagree for the need of MRI in your case.
Welcome for any further assistance.

Respected XXXX,Lymph-node excision at convinience,not in emergency.
Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXX, Hi
*Alternatives to reduce size of the lump are only antibiotics ( in our clinic we
recommend Penicillin group according to patient sensitivity & clinical need )
for 10-14 days which is trial treatment & usually have very less chances of
reducing lump size as its already past 2 months.
*Surgery is not risky at all , it is a day care procedure done under Local
Anaesthesia , you can get home within 2 hours , can go back to work within 24
hours , no need of prolong bed rest at all.
*Don`t afraid of cancer at present dear . This is non-specific lymph node
enlargement mostly.
*Even for surgery it`s not emergency , you can take it on your own time ,just
watch for following signs in which you may require to take early decision :
- sudden increase in size of swelling , increased pain
- redness over that part , any pus discharge
- associated fever , anorexia , weight loss or any other systemic problem.
Hope this clears your further doubts precisely.

answer and close the discussion.
Regards take care.
