[|Human|] I have had a a lima bean size lump on the side of my shin in the soft tissue area. It s hard and does not hurt. I went for an x-ray and ultrasound and they can t determine what it is. They said it is not fluid filled and the bone is fine. The technician said there are no vessels feeding it. They are now sending me to a dermatologist. Any thoughts?
[|AI|]  Hi.based from your description, it could be a lipoma (fatty deposit), a fibrous (fibrous tissue formation), or a cystic formation (sebaceous or gelatinous type). It is not an emergency, but it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Other lesion types must also be ruled-out. MRI and a tissue biopsy may be requested as needed. Management (medical and/or surgical - excision) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
