Suggest Treatment For A Painless Lump On The Thigh

Hi. I have a painless lump with swelling mid way up my right thigh. I have not had any Injuries to my leg. I had a Doppler test done that showed no blood clot. They are thinking muscle strain, however, I thought muscle strains were painful. This lump is not painful but is worrisome. Should I be worried ?

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.     

it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type), a lipoma (fatty deposit) or a fibroma (fibrous tissue reaction). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. other tumor types must also be ruled-out. diagnostics and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
