Tendinitis/lump on elbow

My husband has had tendinitis for quite some time. It comes and goes. I have also had tendinitis that comes and goes away on it's own. My husband now has a lump on his elbow about the size of a marble, maybe a tiny bit bigger than a marble. I never heard of a lump forming due to tendinitis - would this be normal? The lump is hard and painful to him when I tried feeling the lump. I told him several times to call the doctor, but he thinks it's just tendinitis. Has anyone else also experienced a lump from tendinitis?

It's going to take some convincing, but I will get him to see the doctor.

Forgot to mention ... There is no redness around or on the lump. Also, the lump isn't directly on the elbow (where the elbow bends). It is, how can I explain this, if you were sitting down at a table and have your arms on the table bent in front of you in the upright position. The lump is right above where the elbow bends on the front of the arm. I hope this is making sense :-p
