Amit Williams, a 42-year-old graphic designer...
Amit Williams, a 42-year-old graphic designer and father of two, first noticed a small, painless blue lump on his right calf during a beach vacation. Over the next 18 months, it grew steadily into a spongy, 3cm mass that throbbed after long days on his feet and felt tender to the touch. His primary care physician referred him to a vascular surgeon, Dr. Chen, who diagnosed it as a venous hemangioma using ultrasound. Dr. Chen recommended surgical excision, explaining that while benign, its growth and discomfort warranted removal. Amit was nervous about surgery and potential scarring, but the outpatient procedure under local anesthesia went smoothly. Recovery involved two weeks of limited activity and keeping the incision dry. A year later, Amit is back to hiking with his kids, with only a faint, linear scar as a reminder. His emotional journey shifted from initial worry about a 'mystery lump' and fear of surgery to immense relief and confidence after a straightforward diagnosis and successful treatment.
