Have A Lump On The Right Forearm Near The Elbow

I have 3 half dollar size lumps on my right forearm near my elbow. They ve been there for over a year doubled in size. The is little pain with movement, worse with activity. I also have a painless lump in my right armpit. It s been there about a year, little growth. Another lump on the back of my left leg, above my knee, sharp pain every now and again. It s about the size of a ping pong ball. Not sure on the growth rate, only noticed it a couple moths ago. Should I be concerned?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, there is something wrong with your immunity system as the number of lumps is increasing on your body and these are painless, hard/firm and increasing in size! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple body lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     generalised lymphadenopathy that might suggest tuberculosis or kind of neoplastic condition
2.     The second possibility is of a bursa or gouty tophi!
3.     The last possibility is of neurofibromas or soft tissue tumor-like conditions!
     
Overall, it could well be bad thing and therefore you must go for FNAC test for confirmation !

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 you good health.
