What Is The Lump On The Front Of My Left Thigh?

I have a lump on my front left thigh (just right of center) about the size of a marble. It does not hurt, but just noticed it there. Are there lymph nodes there that may be swollen? What symptoms should I look for that would make me want to get it looked at as possibly being serious?

Hi Greetings from Hcm.It will unlikely be lymph node as lymph nodes are usually seen in the inguinal region.It could be soft tissue swellings arising from muscles or subcutaneous tissues.If it is enlarging in size or there are dialated veins over it you have to consult your surgeon.Ultra sound or MRI of thigh will usually clinch the diagnosis.
