Lump on elbow

2017-09-29 13:21:57
Hi, I have had a soft, fatty, flat lump on the point of my elbow for about a month. It doesn't hurt, it just feels like a cushion when I rest my elbow on a table. You can't see the lump sticking out either. I haven't hit my elbow, but I do work at a desk and rest it on there often. My research has led me to 3 possibilities, Lipoma, Bursitis, and Sarcoma. Obviously I'm just trying to rule out the 3rd option. Thank you for any opinion you have.
