How Can A Painless Leg Lump Be Treated?

Hi, I have a painless lump in my lower leg, under a knee of a size of half a lemon. It has been there since I was a teenager and it does not seem to be growing. Short before getting this lump I had an accident, I fell down and hit my leg exactly in the same place. I have been told that there is nothing wrong with me, but I came across sarcoma description online and I though the symptoms are a bit like mine. Thank you

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment for Painless lump on the leg-
In my opinion you seem to have-Pre-Patellar Bursitis(post-traumatic)or -which is developed mostly after the trauma you had few yrs ago.
So don't worry for the Sarcoma,as by no means its Sarcoma.
Still if worried I would advise-USG and FNAC from ER Ortho- Surgeon, which would resolve all your worry.
For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor.
and Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Ortho-Surgeon , who would treat it accordingly.
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
Hence I would advise you to check with ER Ortho-Surgeon.
So dont build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.
Hope this would relieve your problem.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
