A bump behind the knee can have various causes, including injury, infection, or a cyst. It could be a Baker's cyst a quite common cause of a bump behind the knee. It is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the back of the knee joint. In some cases, a Baker's cyst can be a sign of an underlying condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. It might be a popliteal lymph node.
