A member asked:
I have an tumor like soft mass in my lower long leg of about 1 inch dia. this is i feel from about 40 years.but now i feel pain while walking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benign tumor: Tumor of lower leg that has not grown or showed signs of malignancy such as metastasis are usually benign. They become of concern when reaching 5-10 cm. in size when nodal lesions noted but rare when pain noted especially on walking. Must rule out some form of claudication unless pain directly related to pressure on lesion.
