What Does The Large Lump On Hip And Buttocks Mean?
Hi, my daughter, which is 29 years old, has a large lump on her left hip/upper buttock area. It come up very fast. She had a ultrasound and the Radiologist that read it unconclusive, didnt know what it was. He recommended that it be biopsied right away. She also has a smaller one on her right pelvic area. The lump on the left hip area is visable. It is hard and she said is painful. Any ideas as what other test should be done next or is he right? What does this sound like it could be?

I have studied your case. If radiologist is not conclusive on Ultrasound than i would like to advice her MRI. It is a better investigation and does not require a cut on body. Also FNAC can be done which just need a needle prick. I ope that after these two investigation you will not need any biopsy, or if at all it will be needed than also these reports will be helpful for your doctors.
