I am a 50 year old woman, I found a large lump that popped up suddenly on my right leg, just above and to the right of my knee. It is not painful. It is not soft like a lipoma. I am scheduled for an MRI but not a biopsy. According to all of the information that I have read about this, it is likely a malignancy. It is currently the size of a cherry tomato and when I am in a squatting position where the muscle is engaged, it protrudes.
It may have existed in some capacity for some time, but I just didn’t pay much notice of it. The feel or consistency is similar to a lump on my lower back; it is neither really soft nor hard, it feels like a small rubbery lump and you can push around with your fingers. I also have one on the side of left leg, about 10 inches up from the knee. This one is smaller, but harder. In addition, I also have two on my right leg, about six inches up from my knee.
It will be hard to tell exactly whether the lump on your outer thigh near the knee is benign or malignant. There are so many benign tumors of soft tissue origin. Examples of benign condition are lipoma and fibroma. Likewise, there are also many malignant tumors of soft tissue origin. In order to differentiate the two, there may be a need to do a biopsy.
I agree with your decision to seek consult with your doctor.
Take care.
2 weeks ago I started feeling slight knee pain at end of walks and noticed a soft lump on the front of my kneecap. A few days later, the lump turned firm. It does not pain me except towards the end of my walks, but the lump has slowly grown larger and is apple shaped. I'm incarcerated so unlikely to get medical care. What can this be and what should I do on my own? Any information appreciated.
are among the most common benign soft-tissue masses. Although they most often occur on the wrist, they also frequently develop on the foot—usually on the top, but elsewhere as well. Ganglion cysts vary in size, may get smaller and larger over time and may even disappear, only to possibly return later. "

Hello, I have a quarter sized soft lump on my head, behind my right ear. It is the same color as the rest of my skin, round and smooth, and the mass moves when I put pressure on it. I saw a dermatologist last year and was told that it was a mass of fat tissue and not to worry; however, it has grown since then. It doesn't hurt so I've left it alone but it's definitely gotten bigger. I just graduated and don't have medical insurance yet... Can anyone help?
I just came back from Guatemala and discover a soft lump on the right side of my head, it does not hurt, it is soft, also, the other thing is happening is I am loosing my hair in that section, I am not sure why.

Would somebody help me out here, have you guys seen this before?
Thank you and God bless!
Hello Doctor,

Great overall health
Last night I found a rather sizable (golf ball) lump on the interior of my dog's right hind leg (by her knee). The lump is symmetrical and is not movable... it kind of feels like part of her muscle but is so large that I am concerned. I bathed her aprox. 2 weeks ago and did not notice it and she has not had any trauma (to my knowledge) to that region of her leg.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Then I noticed that the leg had an indent and a rather larger wouldnt say lump, its more of a swollen mass above knee about 3" and goes across the whole front of the leg maybe about 3". It feels rubbery but does not move, it moves with the skin. Dermatologist thinks its Lipomas? I thought lipomas were smaller and taller ball like tumors, this is more like a mass. Should I be worried. And why would I get two at the same time?
So about three weeks ago I noticed that on my right knee I had a itchy red lump. I didn't really pay much attention but now it's way bigger, hot, and more red. The lump is hard and when I bend my knee its really noticeable. I didn't get bite by a bug or get hurt, so if any of you can help me I would really appreciate it.

I was doing knees to feet jumps and pretty soon afterwards I noticed a soreness on the back of my leg right above the knee. When I inspected it I felt a lump. I tried doing some research and thought maybe it was a hematoma or something, but I'm not sure.
There is discoloration where the lump is. The lump is still there and has been there for a couple weeks now. It is not that sore just feels hard and it does not bother me when I am moving my leg around.
My poodle is 8 years old and has developed a big lump on her chest. It's soft but has gotten bigger over time. During her last visit to the Vet, I mentioned the lump, the doctor didn't seem that concerned because it was soft not hard. My poodle isn't bothered by it and is in no pain. Can anyone tell me if this is common in old dogs or just poodles? Is there anything that I can do?
Hi I have a question about my dog Angelique. 2 days ago I noticed a soft lump on the inside of one of her legs. When I touched it it was soft and moved around. It did not seem to hurt her when I touched it. She is a little overweight. I read up on the internet about soft lump and I read it possibly afatty tumor. Is it true that fatty tumors are harmless and nothing to be worried about and does it sound like that might possibly be what my dog has?
