Is The Lump On My Inner Fore Arm Is A Kind Of Lymphoma Since I Am Having A History Of Cancer In Nasal Cavity?
I have a small lump on my left inner fore arm furthest away from my body below the elbow crease. I had cancer when I was fifteen in my nasal cavity. My Doctor is setting me up for an ultrasound and is talking about taking further steps if we have to. Do you think its lymphoma? She said its possible. If so what kind might it be so I can do further research?

Hi and thanks for the query,
It is difficult for this to be a tumor. I do think the commonest cause of this kind of manifestation is a lymphoma, which is generally not cancerous. Depending on the size, a decision could be taken on whether to leave it or could be removed surgically. A complete physical examination is sufficient to make a diagnosis and manage appropriately.
Kind regards
