Hard painless lump in thigh


Hello im Male and im 26 years old and i have a lump im worried about in my thigh which feels long and hard in my inner thigh sort of a few inches down the leg from my groin crease. It doesnt feel like a typical lump like i said it feels like its quite long and hard and im not really sure if its moveable obviously im worried it is a soft tissue sarcoma as i googled like a fool and it has scared me. The thing that has concerned me as i thought it was muscle at first but i dont feel it in my other thigh and its more prominent when my legs are crossed and my muscles are being used. It feels like the lump is on the muscle possibly but im not sure the thing is i dont know when I can see a doctor and im worried sick as i do have health anxiety and have for about 6 years. Has anyone felt anything similar to this it feels more like a ridge than a lump. I have a private ultrasound booked on Monday but im hoping to see the doctor tomorrow but we will see as its hard to get appointments. You cant see it without having to feel deeper within the thigh its not showing on the skin at all which i dont know if thats a good thing or not for whether it is something serious or not. I mean i know Sarcoma is rare im just scared as im not sure how it presents or if this could be something to worry about as the lump is not soft and squishy. I really just need some reassureance i think. I do worry about my health a lot and i did find this searching so im hoping maybe its just normal and ive just scared myself but like i said i dont feel it in the other thigh it definetly feelts like a lump and im not really sure how big it is as like i said its quite long.

  • Well I went to the doctors today and now I'm terrified she had no idea what it was. Said it was to deep to be a cyst it's hard and she did say it moves. My blood test has come back with high thyroid function and low calcium. Now I'm utterly convinced it's a sarcoma and I'm so scared and really just need someone to talk to. I have been referred for an ultrasound but I'd imagine that will be weeks so I think Ille try to pay for a private one I mean how likely is this to be sarcoma now is there even anything else it could be she didn't reassure me at all really. Im terrified 

  • Hey I'm going through the exact same worry as you atm I'm 26 with a weird shape lump on my thigh it's firm and doesn't move quite big aswell! I went to the doctor last Thursday and she put a referral in for an urgent ultrasound scan which obviously scared me mines Ned Wednesday so I got booked in quick! Let me no how you get on I finally found someone in the same boat as me good luck xx

  • Hey - just wondered what the outcome of your scan was as I'm in a similar position

  • Hello, I know it was over a year ago but I wonder what your lump's outcome was. My 12 yo daughter was just seen on Friday with a hard, painless, quite a big growth on her tight bone and we are waiting for the scan referral as she is under 16 and couldn't just walk in with a form today.
