What Does A Lump On Upper Thigh Indicate?
I can feel a lump in my right upper thigh. I can t tell if it s in the fat tissue or not. It s under the surface and doesn t show from the outside. I m 62. I ve had 2 lipomas removed from my left arm, but I m concerned this may be something else. I m sorry - I can t afford to spend $15 on this, so I ll make an appointment with my doctor. I didn t realized there was a charge.

Hi, greetings from HCM.Since you had two lipomas removed from your left arm you may be probably suffering from multiple lipomatosis.If it is enlarging in size ,or dialated veins over the swelling and hard or firm in consistency you need to consult a surgeon and rule out the possibility of soft tissue sarcoma by taking for biopsy.If it is soft and not enlarging do not worry. It could be benign
