My son has a golf ball sized lump above his inner ankle 9we assume from sports?) although he doesnt remember how he did it- it does not hurt but looks odd. any ideas on what this might be? We dont have insurance so Im trying to postpone a dr. visit, but its been a month and its the same size.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Most likely this is nothing serious. In this location he may have a ganglion cyst, lipoma or sebaceous cyst. All these lumps are benign and do not lead to a cancer. However, can cause pain and inflammation (especially sebaceous cyst). That is why, sometimes it is worth to remove such lump. I suggest you to have an ultrasound of this lump and consult general surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.
