A member asked:

I have a large, painless lump that doesn't move above my kneecap. i have an mri scheduled. what do you think it may be? sarcoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: That's what we need to rule out. Most of these are very benign. Hope yours is, but if there's any reason to be concerned, get tissue for pathology
