What Causes A Lump In The Elbow?
My dad has a baseball sized lump just above his elbow and below his armpit. The area is pink and warm. It isn t really painful but concerns me. What might this be? He does have a history of something similar happening in his leg, accompanied by cellulitis several times.

The most common causes of elbow lump or mass are pyogenic skin infection, bursitis, and sebaceous cyst. Other possible causes, such as migraine, are more rare.
