Should I Be Concerned About The Hard Painless Lump On My Thigh?
I have a large firm painless lump on my thigh above the knee. It seems to be growing slowly and had maintained size now for about a month. I had an MRI done and the doctor said everything is fine. Should I leave it at that? Im very concered that this is not normal.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and proper history.
The presence of a palpable hard lump which painless and on the thigh above the knee has to be removed as this is large and was growing.
This will help in two ways:
First, you get rid of a disease , a hard lump which is not a normal part of the body.
Secondly, you get a definitive diagnosis as to what it is. Forget about the MRI scan as this is just an investigations and misguide at some points.
