What Causes Lump On Knee?

Had ultra sound of my knee (back of knee) because I have a lump, kinda like an egg. Not the first time I have had this.... Just talked to Drs office and they said the US came back ok. Just don t know how that could be. Arthritis is RAMPENT in my family, 3 sisters and 3 of my brothers and my mother had it really bad to. Have another Dr apt for 4/1....guess I will see what he says to do..... any clues????
