What Does A Lump On Shin Indicate?
Hello, I noticed a lump on the middle part of my daughter s shin last night. It seemed go come out or no where . She is a very healthy and active 5 year old girl. There is no bruising around area and she said it doesn t hurt which is concerning. At first I thought she bumped it but with no bruising I am concerned. her Father has lots or fatty lipomas, I believe it s called durkam s disease. Could this be what they bump is? Also fear could be cancer . Worried out of my mind!

Hi.... Hi I have just read through your query. Sudden appearance of lump can never be a cancerous lesion. So do not worry about this. I can hundred percent assure you that cancer cannot for a lump like this suddenly.
Other possibility is that it could be an insect bite allergy or a small bruise which could have been due to injury which has been overlooked.
Rare possibility is that it could be because of a bleeding disorder which needs evaluation.
Whatever it is I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this.
