Probably neither: Get a knee exam by an orthopedic or sports medicine doctor.

Could be vein: What you are describing most likely it is a vein specially if it is soft and collapse be pressure if it is hard most likely it is a oil gland cyst or fatty tumor benign lymph node does not get enlarge around the knee if you are really concern go to your doctor
