Is A Small Bead Sized Lump In Left Knee A Cause For Concern?
Hello, I m a 19 year old female, never have had any problems with this before. Recently I noticed a small bead sized lump in my left knee just to the right of my knee cap. The lump is very moveable and only slightly tender to the touch. Should this be a cause of concern? What could be the possible reasons for this?

hi.
noted history of a small bead sized lump on knee cap area. it may be a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation), lipoma (fatty deposit) or a cystic formation. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as xray) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
