Lump where thigh meets pelvis - 19 year old female
by tmt731, Nov 02, 2009 12:29AM
Hi,
About a week ago, I noticed an oblong shaped, painful lump basically on the line where my thigh meets my pelvis. Anyways, at first, I attributed it to a pulled groin or just doing something weird but it hasn't gone down at all and the other side doesn't have it. I started doing some online research and just got nervous with some things I found, as I have had other medical issues recently (abominal pain, unexplained anemia and unexplained weight loss). Let me tell you more about this lump though. It is hard, not moveable, about an inch and a half long, centimeter wide, very painful when pushed, and when my legs are down, you can tell it's there (not visually, but if you run a finger over it). I'm nervous because I have lymphoma in my family and am worried somethings gone wrong. I also have a fibroadenoma in my breast. I'm at school and don't really know where to go, and don't want to go to student health, but also don't want to rush to a doctor if it's nothing to worry about. Let me know what you think.
Thanks a bunch,
Tevon

Welcome to the forum!
The lump where your thigh meets the groin can be a swollen lymph node, especially if you have other symptoms such as abdominal pain, unexplained anemia and unexplained weight loss. It could also be a lipoma (localized collection of fat), an abscess (collection of pus) or an infected hematoma (collection of blood).
If there is a suggestive history, you should test for HIV.
Regarding your other symptoms of abdominal pain, unexplained anemia and unexplained weight loss you should get investigated for malabsorption syndromes as seen in seen in intestinal tuberculosis, HIV, tropical sprue, parasites in stool and Whipple’s Disease.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
