Lump in thigh
My mother has noticed the lump 15 - 20 days back. She feels intermittent numbness in thigh and burning sensation (hardly 10 to 15 minutes for twice a day). A surgeon checked the lump and it is movable lump as per his check up.
Another surgeon checked and mentioned movable, deep seated, non tender lump. Also he advised for ct chest. In CT there is no lump.
Also she has done MRI and FNAC. Reports are attached. Both the doctor advised WLE. However when i have asked regarding the chances of malignancy as per their experience, one surgeon has clearly mentioned that if there is any chance of malignancy FNAC should clearly mention it. However, another doctor has mentioned that both the possibilities are there.
Please doctors, advise as per your experience regarding the chances of malignancy. My maternal uncle and myself has many small lumps in hand or legs for years. Those are benign as per their comments.

The biopsy mentions spindle cell neoplasm, and they have advised an excision biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. And also you have not posted the 2nd page of the MRI report please post it.
Need more history and other details to comment more. But is is better to go ahead with excision to confirm the diagnosis.

Thigh swelling in this case as per reports needs to be excised and sent for Biopsy. Don't delay further and follow the doctor's advice.
Next Steps
Consult a general surgeon, get wide local excision done and further management on the basis of Biopsy report.
Health Tips
Do not worry, go for WLE surgery. Regarding your multiple swellings, they are likely lipomatous benign condition. If needed to discuss further may connect.
