Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has fluid filled lump near elbow. It can be some benign cyst, ganglion cyst, bursitis or other cystic lesion. He should go for ultrasound study first. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
