Hi

i have hard lump on the back of my thigh for over five years it's under an inch in size and as not grown. It feels smooth and rubbery when my leg is bent or relaxed but feels hard if my leg is flexed or straight. It's located above the knee feels like it's on a muscle. I'm worried it is sarcoma any advise please

  • Hi Laser575,

    If it's been there that long with no changes and no other symptoms then it may be unlikely to be a cause for concern, however none of us here can give any sort of medical opinion on this. It's only your doctor who can advise appropriately, so if you are worried or feel you'd like to get some peace of mind then the best thing is to give your GP a call to talk things through.

    All the best,
