Small, Immobile Hard Lump Below Skin On Upper Thigh. Could This Be Cancer Due To Smoking?
37 year old man has a small hard lump below skin surface on upper thigh. It feels immovable as if attached to basement membrane. Some pain upon palpation. No visible sign of lump (ie. no redness, no raised tissue). Relevant history: smoker for 20 years. What is the likelihood this is cancer? Does not feel like a lipoma...

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the chances of cancer is very minimal, this may be lipoma this is the only near possibility, else the exact nature of lesion need to be examined clinically, and then will be required some routine test have nice day.
