Finding a lump on the upper thigh with NHL is something others have experienced too. It could be a swollen lymph node, which is one of the most common signs of NHL.

Swollen lymph nodes from lymphoma tend to have some recognizable characteristics:

- Smooth and round in shape
- Rubbery in texture
- Can move slightly when touched
- Usually painless
- May grow larger or smaller over time The groin and upper thigh area is a common spot for lymph nodes to become enlarged with NHL, so this is worth paying attention to.

That said, not every lump is a lymph node. Some lumps can be benign fatty deposits called lipomas, which feel soft and doughy. Only a doctor can tell the difference, so it's really important to get it checked out as soon as possible if you haven't already.
