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.
It could be Cystic or fatty lump, you should get yourself properly evaluated by your surgeon nearby.
Most common swelling are lipomas.. If it’s in back side of knee it could be Cyst.. You can get it evaluated by a surgeon nearby..
