Which hospitals offer surgery for removing a leg cyst or mass in Vellore?

Dear Jayavel ji,

Yes, a mass or cyst on the right leg can be evaluated and, if medically required, surgically removed. However, the correct treatment depends on whether the swelling is a simple cyst, lipoma, abscess, or another type of soft-tissue mass. A surgeon should examine it and may recommend an ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy before deciding on surgery.

Hospitals in Vellore

Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore

CMC Vellore is a suitable option for evaluation of a leg mass or cyst because it has multiple surgical specialties and diagnostic facilities. The appropriate specialist can examine the swelling and decide whether surgical removal or further testing is required.

You should carry the ultrasound/MRI report, if already available, and any previous biopsy or treatment records.

Sri Narayani Hospital and Research Centre, Thirumalaikodi

This is another option in Vellore for consultation and evaluation of a soft-tissue swelling. The surgeon can assess the mass and determine whether it requires surgical removal.

Dr Sherinz Skin and Cosmetology Centre, Katpadi

A skin specialist can evaluate superficial skin or soft-tissue lumps, particularly when the swelling appears to be related to the skin. However, if the mass is deep, large, painful, rapidly growing, or requires major surgery, you may need evaluation by a general surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, or another appropriate specialist.

What Should You Do Before Surgery?

Do not try to squeeze, puncture, or drain the cyst yourself.

You should

• Get the swelling examined by a doctor.

• Take an ultrasound report if one has already been performed.

• Follow the doctor's advice regarding MRI or biopsy, if required.

• Inform the doctor if the mass is growing quickly or has become painful.

• Keep the area clean and avoid repeated pressure or injury.

• Do not take antibiotics or other medicines without medical advice.

When Should You Seek Prompt Medical Attention?

Get medical evaluation quickly if the mass

• Is growing rapidly

• Becomes very painful

• Becomes red, hot, or swollen

• Starts discharging pus or blood

• Is associated with fever

• Causes numbness or weakness in the leg

• Makes walking difficult

A leg mass should not automatically be assumed to be a harmless cyst. Proper examination and, when indicated, imaging or biopsy are important before removal.
