Lump On Leg When Tensing Muscles, Soreness. Any Idea?
Hi I have a small lump near the top of my right leg when I tense the muscles. I do quite a lot of training and it appeared recently. It feels sore when I work out on it by doing squats and things like that but not normally when I m just walking around. The lump is right on the top of me leg, do you have any idea what it could be?

Hi Dear thanks for your question on HCM,the lump you have mentioned on top of your right leg is most probably,a exostosis from tibia,if the swelling is hard in conistancy,which will be confirmed by X-RAY of your leg ,if the swelling has soft conistancy the swelling can be a soft tissue on ,the diagnosis of which can be confirmed by FNAC (FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY).in both condition surgical excision is treatment.
