What causes a hard lump on the knee of a 7 year old?
Patient: Hi, My 7 year old daughter has a hard lump the size of a golf ball on her knee she has had it for about a month. Originally she complained of knee pain with no known injury the pain went away quickly and now she just has the lump with no pain at all. What do you think could be causing that ? Doctor: Hi... by what you could I feel that it could be a fibrosis or Tendinitis. But as it is not causing any pain now it is not an emergency. But I suggest that you see an orthopaedic surgeon regarding this.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
