Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Thigh

Hello, I have a small lump located in the upper anterior portion of my thigh, I have noticed it for a few years now and it fluctuates in size-usually not tender but I bumped it this week at work and it is hurting a bit now-it feels like it is pretty deep- I am hoping it is just a lipoma or cyst but I do not have them anywhere else-I am a 43 year old female. Thanks!

Welcome to Health care magic.

1.As per your history i felt like lipoma initially but as you said increased in size and pain causes suspicion.
2.Most possible cause in that location would be lymph nodal enlargement followed by lipomas and vascular causes.
3.To confirm the diagnosis - you need to get an ultrasound examination done.
4.Ultrasound will help ti evaluate the nature of the lump, its source and where all its extended.If required a needle sample will be take for confirmation of the cells.
5.So get an appointment and get needful investigations and treatment done. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
