You seem well versed in medical terminology; you also realize that I/we cannot provide ANY medical advice.
The purpose of this article is essentially to make you aware of the lumps you feel or see.
Please see your doctor.

Best Wishes,
Arun

Thanks for this information. I have not felt well for awhile and now-over the past week- I have noticed a lump rt of the lumbar spine. A few days later I had one start on my lt leg inside and slightly below my knee. These are both slightly painful-bruise like feeling w/ palpation. I also have had spots that I can pinpoint on back and breast of extreme tenderness. No lumps there, no trauma either. I have noticed an enlarged and tender rt inguinal lymph node, and one on the back of my head. I had a sore in my mouth so I can explain the one on the back of my head but not the inguinal one. Now I am getting a little nervous. Any ideas?

I have some type of tumor on my upper right thigh. I’ve had several ultrasounds done and the doctors can not determine what kind of tumor. I am seeing a surgeon next week about removal because it grows and shrinks and it strangly itches after I finish working my 12 hour shifts. I am worried because I have Protein S Difficiency and I don’t want to risk bleeding. Also, I still haven’t found out if it’s a lipoma or something else.

Follow some of the guidelines listed here; importantly is there pain and is it growing? It is also likely that the lump has been there for a while, you just did not notice it; if it keeps growing, or at your next visit, show it to a doctor.

Best wishes.

This was an interesting post,but now it’s gotten me mildly worried. A week a go I discovered a strange lump on the inside of my lower left butt cheek that is about 3 cm. It wasn’t there before and seeminly over night it was there. Im not sure what it is,but I dont intend to find out. I am hoping it will just go away on its own.
