A member asked:

I have a painless lump on my anterior tibialis ligament and my achilles tendon on my left foot. no trauma. what could it be.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This could be one of: several possibilities the most common being a ganglion cyst or possibly a small fatty tumor called a lipoma. If it changes in size or you are not sure concerning what it is especially if it is firm, irregular and appears fixed (not mobile) get it checked out.
