What Does A Lump Below The Knee Indicate?

I have a large (size of 50 cent piece and stands about 1/2 inch to inch up lump on leg just below knee. Does not really hurt semi hard put can push on it, doesn t move much/ I guess it kinda looks like a cyst no redness and no head to it at all. Something I should be concerned about?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi i do care for your concern.
You have not mentioned your age and duration for which the lump is present.
From your history the lump might be lipoma which is a benign condition and to be least cared of.
I would suggest
To consult your physician and get examined to find out what the lump is.
If it is lipoma then it can be left alone without any concern.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
