I am an 18 year old college student, and I have a hard painless lump on my right shin bone. I cannot move the lump around or anything like that. There is no color change around the lump. It swells up every once in a while. Its been there for a couple months. Any idea what this could be?
Hello! Thank you for the query. If it is attached to the bone, bone tumor should be ruled out at first. Other benign lesions like a cyst or lipoma should be also considered. I suggest you to consult your doctor and have an X-ray of this part at first. If nothing will be found in the x-ray, ultrasound should be next. Hope this will help. Regards.
