Hi, thanks for sharing your husbands' health concerns with Chat Doctor!  Well, If I were his treating Doctor for this case of a painful upper thigh lump, I would come up with two or three possibilities as follows:1. An abscess possibly due to recent infection in the skin or hair follicle and could be related to heart disease also!2. An infected sebaceous cyst or a dermatofibroma3. A lymph node enlarged due kind of recent infectionPlease take caution not to get him injured/poke there! I suggest him to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your husband good health.
