Lump In Upper Thigh
Posted: 04-16-05 07:15am

Hi

i am 20 years old and in january was playing a football match when I suffered a dead leg after a collision. The pain went after a few days but about a week later I noticed a lump on my upper thigh, not sure if the dead leg had anything to do with the lump and maybe it was a co-insidence?

The lump is completely painless and can only be felt when I tence my thigh in a certain way! The lump is quite hard and is about 1" x 1" maybe slightly bigger?

I would appreciate any feedback as to what the problem might be and weather I should consult my local gp?

Thanks
g owen

It sounds like a lipoma. This is a benign, fatty growth. It can easily be removed. It will not hurt to not have it removed, but it may become painful over time. Either way, I would just have my physicain look at it.
