Suggest Treatment For Lump Inside Lower Arm

Hi, I have a fairly large lump in the inside of my lower arm near my elbow. It is not painful and I didn t notice it until I saw that my arm looked a little bigger on that side. If I extend my arms out in front of me, hands up on the inner upper arm near my elbow.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

THough not mentioned by you, I feel that possibly the swelling is a slow growing which has been noticed by you only when the size increased. If I were your doctor, after a physical examination of the swelling, I would have advised you for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology), and would then refer you to a general surgeon with the report for further management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
