What Causes Swelling On The Outside Of Both Elbows?

I have swellings on the outside of both elbows. They feel like accumulations of some kind of fatty tissue and they are completely painless. I had one removed surgically from my left elbow two years ago but it has returned. The right elbow is now affected similarly. They both look rather ugly but they do not interfere with normal movement. Shoud I have them removed again?
