I have a hard bump about 2 inches below my right knee. I noticed it aboutr a month ago and it starting hurting some. I broke my right ankle 2 years ago, the tibia bone and had plate and screws in but had them taken out last November. What could this be and could it have something to do from my ankle?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma.  You have history of trauma and surgery on ankle.  But your ankle lesion has nothing to do with knee swelling.  You should go for examination. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
