What Causes A Lump In The Shin Of A 4 Year Old?
My 4 year old son just had an xray done by a nurse s physician after we went to her to see about a lump on his shin. She said the xrays are not normal and that he needs to be seen by a specialist. She also said that xrays of the lungs need to be done to make sure whatever it is has not spread. It did not sound good and we are very nervous about the whole thing....he is very healthy and has no issues except allergies and possible allergy related asthma, but we have this managed.

Hi....by the minimal information you have provided I can only suggest your certain possibilities. But to be more certain, I need to ask you certain questions and also I need to see the image of the lump on the shin.
For this to be done you need to get back to me with a direct questions. I will suggest you how to do this.
Right now the possibilities which come to my mind are -
1. Angioedema
2. Ecchymosis and bleeding disorder.
3. Connective tissue disorder with erythema nodosum
4. Lipoma
