What Is The Big Soft Lump On The Bicep?

My two year old has a half dollar size lump on his upper arm. When I saw it I thought it was his bicep muscle, then when I examined it further it s too low right above his elbow. He says it does not hurt, it is soft and not hard. What do you think? it does have a bruise on it so perhaps he bumped it on something.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi your two year old boy has a painless and soft bump on his arm just above the elbow which does not hurt. In my opinion it could be a small lipoma(soft mass of fatty tissue) . I suggest that you keep an eye on it and if it starts to grow , becomes red or painful, then you consult your doctor.
