What Causes Lumps Under The Knee?

Hi I am 22, I noticed a small pea size little lump or even a ball of tissue perhaps it could be, under my knee by my ligament. And it does move and it is painless. It is not very palpable, I sort of have to find it to palpate it. Should I be concerned?

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Patellar Bursa -which is painless soft lump,difficult to locate,which exactly fits in to your facts.
Such a lump could be due to the Varicose Veins also of the Short Saphenous.
USG and X-ray knee would differentiate from among the other possibilities as cause of such a lump.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
