"Lump" in Left Thigh

I am an 18 year old female. About two months ago I located a lump in my left thigh that was on the muscle and moveable. It feels hard, yet rubbery. When I press on it, it feels like a bruise of a knot. I am very concerned about it. You cannot see it if my legs are straight, but when my leg is bent it I can feel and see it. It is smooth feeling and the lump is rounded. I have trouble sitting with my legs crossed as it tugs on my knee. As for seeing a doctor I was sent for an ultrasound which came back inconclusive and I am being sent for an MRI which will most likely result in a biopsy. My doctor said muscle cancer is VERY rare and that she can my guarantee anything. If anyone could give some sort of advice or input I would appreciate it greatly. I cannot stop crying.

I think it's just a benign lipoma. A lipoma is a round shaped moveable lump that can be formed anywhere of your body. It can be formed under your skin tissue and on your muscle. As long as the size of the lump does not change, you don't have to worry

I would also like to add the lump has stayed relative the same size and pain is localized.
