The bumps are caused by pressure. [1] There may be an association with Prader–Willi syndrome , and around a third of individuals with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome may have them. [ 2 ] Risk factors include obesity , flat feet , athletics , figure skating , and long-distance running .
Diagnosis is typically based on examination. The ability to shine through the bump or any past decrease in size supports the diagnosis of the bump as a ganglion cyst. [4] Ganglion cysts are usually obvious upon observation. Medical imaging may be considered on infrequent occasions to rule out another diagnosis. [3] [4] Treatment is not necessary.
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also known as Nora's lesion, [4] is a type of non-cancerous bone tumor belonging to the group of cartilage tumors.

Nodules are small firm lumps usually greater than 1 cm in diameter, found in skin and other organs. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] If filled with fluid they are usually softer and referred to as cysts . [ 2 ] Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules .
Painless bumps can arise at the site of tumor and pain and other discomforts can also take place if pressure is put on the soft tissues, nerves, or blood vessels. [ 4 ] [ 11 ] Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica (DEH) or Trevor's disease and metachondromatosis (MC) are considered differential diagnosis of both solitary and hereditary osteochondromas.
Lipomas have a prevalence of roughly 2 out of every 100 people. [2] Lipomas typically occur in adults between 40 and 60 years of age. [1] Males are more often affected than females. [1] They are the most common noncancerous soft-tissue tumor. [5] The first use of the term "lipoma" to describe these tumors was in 1709. [6]
