Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Dear, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of lower leg lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     an old organised hematoma due to old bleeding within tissues!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
     
3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like ganglion or bursa! Nothing to worry about these also!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

And as far as the treatment is concerned, it all depends on the diagnosis; but possibly this does not need immediate surgery; some conservative management would suffice!

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.
