[|Human|] I am an overweight but healthy person, 5ft 6 in tall and 198 lbs.   I recently noticed on the outside of my right hip bone a round firm lump about 5 inches oblong size.  It does not hurt and when I push on it it is firm but smooth.  It is right below my waist as my hips flare and directly on over the outside of the hip bone.  It does seem to swell during the day and go down when I sleep flat at night.  Should I see my doctor?
[|AI|]  Hello, In most cases this is just a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lymphoma, fibrous or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever, then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there is doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
