A member asked:
I have a large lump on my thigh, a couple of inches above the knee. it's hard, painless and doesn't move, there was no injury. should i be concerned?

Exam needed: A physician should examine this mass for you for diagnosis as bone tumors do occur in the knee region. Benign growths like a lipoma are usually soft and movable. Appropriate tests like an xray will be ordered depending upon clinical findings.
