I have a 5 year old son, born with various health problems. He is due to have surgery on his eye to remove a suspected dermoid cyst. He recently developed a small, painless lump behind his knee on the popliteal. Our GP says it is nothing to worry about (he just checked his knee movement) and insisted no follow-up appointment was necessary. Should I insist on further investigation to ensure this is the case and if so how should I go about this as we normally have a very good relationship with the said GP?
I would appreciate any advise you have to offer and thank you in anticipation.

I agree with your GP.
You should only worry if your child develops pain while moving his knee, or has difficulty moving it.
