Dear Concerned Family Member,
I understand your worry about your mother’s newly developed lump in the calf, especially given her existing conditions of **poorly controlled diabetes and thyroid disorder**. This requires prompt medical attention, as lumps in diabetic patients can have several possible causes, some of which may need urgent intervention.
Possible Causes to Consider
1. Lipoma (benign fatty lump)
2. Abscess or infection** (higher risk in diabetics)
3. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)** (blood clot – critical to rule out)
4. Thyroid-related swelling** (though less common in legs)
5. Lymph node enlargement** (if systemic infection present)
Recommended Next Steps:
Immediate Tests:
- Ultrasound with Doppler (to check for DVT or soft tissue mass)
- Blood tests (CBC, HbA1c, thyroid profile, inflammatory markers)
- Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) or biopsy (if suspicious mass)
Urgent Consultation Needed Because:**
- Uncontrolled diabetes increases infection and healing risks.
- A clot (DVT) can be life-threatening if untreated.
- Thyroid dysfunction may complicate swelling.
For a **detailed evaluation and personalized care plan**, I strongly recommend scheduling a consultation. You can connect with me on WhatsApp at **eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two** for further guidance.
