What Causes Lentil Sized, Round Lump In Thumb?
I am a 45 yr old female....recently I noticed a lentil sized but rounder lump at the beginning of my right thumb. When I touch it it definitely hurts but there doesn't seem to be any radiating pain.... Can you give me some ideas what this is caused from?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump is a ganglion most likely. It is a kind of cyst which is connected with a joint. It is filled with clear fluid. Does not lead to a cancer and can be removed with small surgical procedure.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon with it. In case of doubts, ultrasound of this area should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
