What Causes A Hard Lump On The Knee?

Q: About 3 weeks ago, I notied a hard lump that feels like bone (nickle size) lump on my left knee. It is located right below the middle point of my knee cap, on the outside section. There is no pain but is seems to have gotten slighltly larger. Any idea what this could be?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
This may be ateroma or fibroma or egzostosis of patella. In every case you should do RTG first and see if this is bone defect or not. Then appropriate treatment can be planned.
Wish you good health. Regards
