What Causes Hard Mobile Lumps On The Elbow?
My Stepdad has since a few years rock hard lumps under his skin on the elbow. They have the size between a big pea and a bigger/small stone. Not painful but they grew in the past years and start to move a bit upwards. Oh, and they are mobile, they re not attached to the bone. (He had there a minor operation about 10 years ago and has a small visible scar.) What could it be? Thanks for answers :)

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
This could be lymph node swelling or neurofibroma. Both are seen at that place and also mobile.
I suggest you to consult your doctor and confirm the diagnosis by clinical examination. Treatment depends accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
