What Does A Lump On The Elbow Indicate?
Hi, my 74 year old mother noticed, yesterday, on her elbow a piece of fatty substance around her elbow (around her bone). No pain. No discoloration. When she extends her arm no pain. She describes it to me like a glob of fat below her bone. It feels spongy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The most possible lesion responsible here is soft tissue lump in form of
lipoma or sebaceous cyst. I would suggest consulting a consultant surgeon and confirm the same.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
