What Is The Small Lump On The Outside Of Knee?

I am researching what the cause of a small painless lump or knot on the outside of my knee could be. If I push on what I believe is the IT band it pops out like a charlie horse . Then if I press on the knot it goes away. It is never larger than about an inch around and maybe a quarter to half an inch tall??? I am a healthy 48 y/o male w/ no medical hx or rx. Play hockey, ride a bicycle and maintain fitness.
