On January 23rd I noticed a swollen red lump under my left arm in the armpit it is sore to the touch and does not appear to be a bite of some kind, I am going to continue to monitor it and speak with my Dr. about it. I am a little worried hope it is nothing. Not sure what it might be.

I had a small lump about the size of a large pea appear on my right arm about a month ago, it moved up and down my arm if I pushed it. it seamed like it was attached to a "string" I could feel it stretch to the end. then it anchored itself about a week ago and now it does not move any more. I also have lumps under my rib cage, had one removed and was told it was just fatty tissue but they do not move like this one or appear to be attached.

I have had this lump on my upper arm, underneath about three inches from my armpit, for almost four years. I have gone to the doctor and had her look at it. All she said was it was probably nothing. It gives of a throbbing pain every so often and is tender to the touch. I am worried that it might be a tumor because I have recently had my thryoid removed because of two tumors. Should I have this evaluated again and ask if it is a tumor.

About a month ago, I noticed a lump on my arm below the elbow. It is completely painless. I went to my GP to said he suspected it was a ganglion cyst and ordered a sonogram. The person who took the sonogram said she could see absolutely nothing. I am waiting to hear back from my GP re the sonogram results. I am absolutely terrified of the possibility of a future bone biopsy. Has anyone on this board had one and how painful is it?

I'm a 26 year old female, who had a baby almost four months ago. I have had this same lump on my arm, underneath the skin about 5 or so inches from my elbow, it's been there for as long as I can remember and until yesterday I thought nothing of it. Then I was rubbing my arm and I felt the lump and it created a warm burning pain on contact, and now intermittenly I get the warm burning pain that pulsates from the lump outward, making it nearly impossible to type or do much of anything else.

Hi: I have a small limp on my upper right arm about 2.5 inches from the elbow. Its about 3/4 to 1 inch in size, has not changes much in the last 3 months and the area around it is kind of bumpy (not on skin, but inside). I have no pain. It's kind of hard but does not protrude much at al. I'm a mail, 49 in great heath, so history of cancer in me or my family. Of course I'm concerned that it's a soft tissue cancer -- can someone descrive how a soft tissue in this area feels? Could this be one?

Oct mammagram on remaining breast was normal... but I thought I was feeling a lump in my arm pit. I talked to my doctor who thought it was just a swollen node.

7 years ago i went to see the doctor about this lump in my left arm. Its on the side of me arm just below my elbow. The doctor say it was a ganglion and she said if it got any bigger then i could have it removed. She did ask if it was sore but it was not at the time. I can move the lump with my fingers but the lump is really sore. Theres no way its a ganglion. It feels like a sore burning there. Is it possible this could be a cancerous lump?

I have this lump on my arm, right where it bends (the other side of my elbow basically) that has been there for about a year now. It isn't painful on its own, but when it first appeared I thought it was a pimple or boil or some other thing, and tried to pop it and it sent a sharp pain from my shoulder to my fingers, almost like an electric shock. Sometimes it gets bigger all on its own, to the point of stretching the skin until it itches and hurts.

I have had a small lump under my arm for quite some time. Yesterday I started getting pain spreading from the lump to just above my wrist. The pain only comes when I move or touch the area. The lump is about the size if a one pence wide and aprox. 2mm deep, and has never caused me any pain or discomfort before. I wouldn't have know it was there without touching it, until yesterday. Could this be a symptom of breast cancer?

Hi... I have noticed a small lump on my arm near a vein. I don't think it is movable and I think it is right on top of the vein. It feels round in shape. It doesn't hurt. It almost looks like a light bruise with a very light greenish look on the skin. My husband looked at it and thought it was a blood clot. I looked it up and that didn't seem to fit. A co-worker thought it was a bruise on the vein. I have no idea.

The area has become slightly pinker than the rest of my skin and my arm is quite swollen in that area. It feels like a swollen lump.

I have looked at different things on line, but could you help with what it might be?
