Hi! Thanks for writing to us describing your boyfriends' health problem;Well, the kind of calf lump could not be cancerous anyway; however, I would like to suggest following possibilities in his case:1. A benign skin tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma; possibility 30%2. Bursa or ganglion cyst 40%3. Kind of abnormal veins, varicose veins, hematoma etc. 30%Therefore, there is nothing to worry, but the diagnosis should be confirmed by a simple needle biopsy test; regards!
