Tumor In Left Rotator Hip, Leg Swelling, Discharge From Incision On Thigh. Treatment For Edema?

my mother has a tumor in her left rotator hip area. It has caused swelling to about 3 times the normal size of her leg. she is now oozing from a one year old incision on her left thigh. She had a ultrasound done and they ruled out a DVT a week ago, and come to the conclusion that the edema is due to the compression of the tumor in her hip, Is the oozing a concern?

Dear friend,

I am Dr. (Col) R Karanwal, M.D. (Internal Medicine), Consultant Physician, for your assistance.

Thanks for reposing your faith in me and post your query on this website. I fully appreciate your concerns.

Seriousness of the condition depends on the nature of the oozing fluid.

Swelling can be due to either secondary infection with pus collection; compression over blood vessels by tumor, or ; simple edema. Analysis of oozing fluid will give the exact clue and help your doctor to decide on the further course of action.
