Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What lump you are complaining of above knee appears to be 'Baker's cyst' or a ganglion.
However, it needs to be assesed by clinical examination to find out from where it is arising from.
Following this, a decision can be taken as to weather it needs to be removed by means of surgery. Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
