Leiomyosarcoma

I have a lump in my calf and it’s very painful a couple of years ago I had a large liomysarcoma on my left kydney I had surgery to take it away could this come back in my calf ?

  • Hi Azztheman, 

    I am not sure myself whether a leiomyosarcoma can come back on your calf or if this lump is totally unrelated but as with any new lump you notice anywhere in your body, it is important to get it checked. So I would suggest if you haven't done so already that you give your GP a call and mention this lump. They will be able to look at it and tell you what it might be. You can mention to the doctor's your history and say that you had a large leiomyosarcoma removed a couple of years ago and that you are worried that the two might be connected. Your doctor will be in the best position to reassure you and explain everything in detail to you. So don't hesitate to call them tomorrow and I hope that you will get an appointment soon. 

    Other members of our forum may have had something similar before and I hope that they will drop by and share their experience with you. 

    I hope that this lump turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
