HelloThanks for your queryBased on your query, my opinion is1. Fluid in the knee may or may not be related to the growth. It needs to by examined by aspiration cytology to know the cause.2. Growth needs to be evaluated to decide on further management. If it is benign or malignant or inflammatory lesion can be decided on fine needle aspiration cytology.3. Regarding frequency of visits can be decided based on the treatment he requires, if surgery is indicated then might have to come for follow up once or twice if it is benign. Hope this helpsRegards
