Abstract :
Swelling in the thigh is one of the commonly
presenting condition in surgical OPD which draws
curiosity among surgeons about the exact pathology and
their management. These long standing swellings are
mostly soft tissue tumors which are usually painless but
draws attention due to their increasing size and cosmetic
disfigurement. We are presenting six unusual cases of
thigh swellings which are pathologically rare including
Giant Baker’s cyst, Hydatid cyst and Schwannoma of
thigh. One patient with secondary metastatic inguinal
lymph nodes from malignant melanoma was referred to
cancer institute for further management. All other
patients were evaluated and surgically managed by
excision and biopsy. There were no post-operative
complications during 3 months follow-up period.
Keywords :
Schwannoma, Melanoma, Cyst, Baker’s, Hydatid, Haematoma.
