A long-standing lump beneath the knee that occasionally causes pain but does not grow could be a lipoma (a benign fatty tissue growth), a cyst, or another soft tissue mass.

While the slow-growing and non-enlarging nature is generally reassuring, it is important to have it evaluated by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. A physical examination and possibly an imaging test like an ultrasound or MRI can help determine the exact nature of the lump.
