Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It appears to be a inflammatory swelling.
2. If it is superficial, the swelling should move. If its inside the knee joint, joint aspiration maybe necessary to identify the cause.
3. Meet your doctor to get an X-ray done. More details, like history, and clinical details necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, here to help again.
