What Causes Itchy Lumps On Thighs With History Of Lupus?
Hi, I have these lumps on my quads. Years ago my doctor said they re just fatty tissue, nothing to worry about, however, they hurt and itch. The lumps were first on my left thigh and now there growing on my right thigh. I am 51 years old and am very active. I had tested positive years ago (1994.95) for Lupus as it runs in my mom s side and I was told I have FMS, but no testing was done for that one.

Your history is not suggestive of lupus. However in view of positive family history and ANA positivity, Kindly get FNAC of lumps done to rule out panniculitis.
