Suggest Remedy For Spongy Lump On Elbow

I just discovered a soft spongy lump on my elbow - It does not hurt, can be moved around, and was not caused by any injury that I know of. It feels strange and is about the size of a quarter. Should I be concerned - will it grow in size or become painful? It is actually on the bone of the elbow itself.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The most possible cause can be lipoma - lump of fat content ( mobile, painless, no history of trauma)
2.Othere possible causes are - ganglions (from joint capsule,tendon), Vascular malformations.
3.An ultrasound lesion will help to find out the nature of the lesion and its content and sours and extensions.
4.Take a general appointment with your GP, after examination request for ultrasound lesion.
5.You have to be concern as some thing growing on your body, we have to find out and treat the cause.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
