So the lump is painful, moving, hard, for many years but without any injury and not detectable with x-ray!

That I could conclude from your description; anyways, thanks for your information shared on HCM!

Could you please repeat your x-ray in some other lab in the mid-flexed position and a lateral view report is necessary in this case; because I think i is definitely a cystic lesion like bursa, ganglion or some loose bodies etc...benign definitely and not to worry!

a recurrent patellar dislocation is another possibility.

therefore do the test and revert back us; regards,
