Question:

I am a very active 30-year old female (cycling, heavy yard work, running, etc., but no weight lifting within last six months) and I recently noticed an indentation on the top of my right butt cheek. There is no discoloration of the skin, but it's almost like the muscle mass is gone. To describe it more precisely in size, it looks as if someone hit me in the rear-end with a small baseball and it left a dent. What could this be?

Thank you for your inquiry. This may be something as straightforward as localized area of fatty tissue different in composition from the remainder - which is not at all serious, although a cosmetic concern to some - or it may be related to something more difficult to diagnose; either way, a direct physical examination will be necessary to provide a diagnosis.
