What Causes Lump On Left Femur?
Thank You. We took our 16 year old son for an X-ray this afternoon. He has a lump on his left femur. He has had it for a few weeks. He is a competitive soccer player and lifts weights. He doesn t remembering injury to the area. We are worried it might be Bone Cancer. Any other suggestions?

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general or an orthopedic surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics, such as MRI, x-rays and tissue biopsy, will be recommended as needed to rule-in/rule-out different tumor types. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
