Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It can be a small part of your knee cap. Especially if it has appeared after some injury. Cyst which is connected with the joint is also possible. Both condition can give symptoms when putting pressure on the knee.
The best way to find out what are you dealing with is to have an ultrasound of the knee and X-ray. P
I suggest you to consult orthopedist with this issue.
Hope this will help.
