Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently noticed a soft fleshy swelling or growth on the medial side of my right elbow. There appears to be a denser center to the growth. I assumed at first the growth was due to muscular attrition occurring after carpal tunnel surgery I had in March of this year. The denser center of the swelling does not seem to be attached to the lower portion of the triceps or humerus.
The most common causes of such a swelling on the medial side of the elbow are as follows: Lipoma Large sebaceous cyst Synovioma
Hence, it is important to know the exact cause to have proper management. I would advise you to consult your doctor for an actual examination. Ultrasound examination of the swelling will help to know the exact cause. FNAC if required. Once a cause is known you can proceed with an appointment for surgery if the cause is surgical.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
