A mass on the femur refers to an abnormal growth or lump located on the thigh bone, which can be benign or malignant. It may arise from various conditions, including tumors (such as osteosarcoma or metastases), cysts, or infections. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, or limited mobility, and diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs, along with a biopsy if necessary. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
