What Does A Large Lump On Thighs Indicate?

Hi,
I have a fairly large lump on the outside of my thigh towards the top. It has caused a couple of indents on my leg and it has been there for quite a while. probably a year or two, and can be seen in silhouette. It is hard, does not move and painless. Should i be worried at all? No other symptoms except my knees get quite sore sometimes... Im 27 year old female. thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of large lump on the outside of thigh towards the top for more than a year. It is hard, does not move and painless.

You should be worried as this is not a normal part of the body and I would advise you to get this removed for 2 reasons:
1. You get rid of the lump /disease.
2. You get a confirmed diagnosis by histopatho report.

This can be a lipoma, sebaceous cyst or a mass from the muscles.
