<human>: I have a cyst like bump in my elbow that moves and can be painful when it hits a surface. Im thinking its some sort of bursitis. According to the sites Ive visited ice and rest are suggested. I had something like this similar several years ago but much worse than this time and got medical treatment. Thank you.
<bot>: Hello! Thank you for the query. Such cyst like structure is usually a benign soft tissues lesion. It can be filled with fluid or fatty tissue (lipoma). If it is connected with the joint, can give pain and is described as a ganglion. The best way to find out what it is, is an ultrasound of this area. All mentioned type of lumps can be removed and tested under microscope. Please consult a surgeon with it. Hope this will help. Regards.
