What Is The Treatment For A Pea Sized Brown Lump In The Knee?

Hi Dr, I have a brown spot behind my left knee only, it s not raised, it s pea sized shape if you press over it it feel hard under its surface. Now I feel pain behind that knee only like pulling, stinging and sometimes burning feeling around that area especially when I am wearing pants that rub around it . I m not sure if it comes from that or something else is causing this problem and I m very worried and stressed out. Please help me. Thank you

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Just relax! nothing to worry about this nodule...

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a small pea-sized lump in the left knee, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma
2.     The second possibility is of a benign cyst like ganglion cyst or sebaceous cyst     
3.     The last possibility is of some skin papilloma-like fibro-epithelial polyp or some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you!
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon in your area!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
