What Could Be The Lump In The Inner Side Of Knee?

I noticed a lump on the inner side of my right knee yesterday after running. I haven t had any pain or problems. I don t think it formed during my one run yesterday. I think it has formed in the recent past. I have noticed a few mild muscle spasms in the area today. What could it be and what type of doctor should I go to to have it checked out?

Hi! thanks for sharing your recent health problem with us!

As per your description, this is very common to get a person with lump in the innerside of knee joint and this is generally a harmless benign but progressive condition and different possibilities that I usually suspect in such cases as follows:

1. a bursa or Baker's cyst

2. a ganglion cyst

3. a neurofibroma or lipoma

4. skin cysts

5. hemangioma or dilated veins

In fact you just need a physical examination by a general surgeon for a diagnosis and the line of management.
