What Causes Painless Hard Lump On Inner Thigh?

Hello, I have question about a painless hard lump I found on my inner right thigh.
It doesn't hurt but strangely, it only appears when I stand up straight.
When I sit and relax, it disappear.
I have made an appointment with a doctor but just for peace of mind, could this be minor?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

It could be a soft tissue tumor arising from the inner muscles, so that when the muscles relax it goes inside and when you put it in contraction by standing, it comes out.

To come to a diagnosis, it will need a clinical evaluation and a needle biopsy of the lump, which i believe your doctor will do. Further management will depend upon the biopsy report.

But as you are not having any other symptoms, it will mostly be a benign swelling.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
