What Does Painless Lump On Leg With History Of Cervical Cancer Indicate?

I have a painless lump on my lower leg just above the ankle. I do have a history of cervical ca. in 2008. I have just been diag. with enlarged spleen and lymp nodes. I am scheduled for a PET scan but wondering if the lump in my leg could be related?

HI,Welcome to HCM.
After Review of your query facts,In my opinion you seem to have-
this painless leg lump mostly due to the Varicose Veins,which is associated with increased Intra-Abdominal Pressure from enlarged spleen and enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen.
I would suggest Doppler Study of the leg veins.
History of old Cervical Cancer,needs also to be studied,for any relation to developed painless leg lump.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with your doctor and would help you to resolve the issue which is a cause of Anxiety for you.

Will appreciate if you hit thanks and write review comments for the needy patient visitors at HCM like you.

Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
