I have a friend who is a carpenter that has developing a lump at his lateral antecubital area and axilla of same arm for last year and one half. They are non-tender, firm with palpation. The one at his antecube is about the size of a golf ball and the one in his pit is smaller. Could they be ganglion cysts?

thanks for sharing your concern!
there is nothing to worry about this; it is nothing but a sebaceous/dermoid cyst and well, could be a ganglion cyst also!
take care not to infect them and turn into boils!
for confirmation an FNAC test is useful in such cases!
