Hi have the same problem as you, with regards to the lump. My GP immediately referred me fof US Scan. Identification had many possibilities. Have been referred to hospital(orthopaedic sarcoma) for biopsy. Although I don't have any pain, it was considered urgent. Hope this helps
[@Bettina] did you get any answers? Everyone o Google hard lump on buttock it brings me here. Its been there a couple of months and hasn't grown as far as I can make out but I am in absolute panic mode because it doesn't have the description of a cyst but what sounds like a sarcoma im just looking for anyone that is in the same boat as me
Did you ever find out what your lump was? I have had 2 MRI's amd ultrasound of my lump - just waiting to hear what they think this is. This lump can't be seen if you just look at me - but it's hard and it presses on my sciatic nerve when I sit down. They couldn't do a biopsy because of where it is, so that's why I ended up having a second MRI (first one was checking my spine for reasons of back pain!). I am hoping to find out what this is soon. Benign or not it needs to be gone, then I might be able to sit down without pain for more than 3 hours!
I'm sorry for such a late reply! I'm still nowhere further with the GP. They offered me another appointment with a nurse who tried a 7 day set of antibiotics (what good they thought that would do i will never know!). I took them of course, just to keep them happy. Going back Friday to see another GP.
Have you managed to get any kind of diagnosis for yourself? I hope all is well!
No diagnosis yet - but I do have an appointment to see a general surgeon next week to assess and discuss removal ( I hope!!). The only way to know what is causing this lump is either biopsy or removal. I do think it has grown since my last appointment - but not massively. The tissue and muscle around it feels different too. It's not smooth/ muscle like the other side. At least it's not long now..
I would say if your lump is not going away it warrants further investigation. Hopefully your GP will refer you on for this. Unfortunately a lump on your bottom is not taken with the same level of urgency as it would be in other parts of your body.
