My daughter has a lump/knot above her right knee ( approx 2-3" above) about the size of a nickel. It is not painful and it does not affect her movement in any way. We have just discovered it. There isn't any bruising in the area nor has she hit it. It seems to be just under her skin on the quadricep. I would hope this would be a cyst at worst, but unsure.
