What Causes Lump Below Pelvis?

Hello Dr. I have a lump on the upper part of my leg just below the pelvis. It is not noticeable but I can feel it when I rub that part of my leg. It s about width of a quarter. I am not overweight. I run about 5 times a weeks for 30 to 40 min each time. Not sure if I should see a doctor or not?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it could be an inguinal lymphadenopathy which could be secondary to a recent infection, or it could also be any of the following benign lesions: a lipoma (fatty deposit), a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a cystic formation. consult is best with your doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. if it is indeed any of the above lesions mentioned, definitive treatment is surgical excision and proper antibiotic treatment.

hope this helps.

good day!!
