What Causes A Lump On The Ankle Of A 3.5 Year Child?
My daughter is 3.5 years old. I noticed a few weeks ago a round lump on her ankle. I thought it was the bone. But looking at it, it is way too round. Also, it moves a little bit. It is about an inch diameter and right below that ankle bone on the right side of her ankle. Is it a cist?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be a kind of cyst and in my opinion it is better to see the surgeon to rule out certain possibility of bony lesion, without the clinical examination noting can be said on concrete level, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
