That said, I don't think we can conclusively rule out TB. Buddy and one of the Machaton males have TB and they were looking OK for a long time. With age and disease progression it may turn otherwise. 

These guys are very unlucky with injuries, but at the same time quite lucky that they don't have any immediate challengers.

Agree, well we cant rule TB out, but im trying to say that not every "lump" is TB.

If you seen, one of the Talamati young subadults has exactly this kind of lump on his elbow, does that means that he has TB? Most likely not..

Older Othawa lioness from recently has lump on her hip, Tinyo also recently got lump on his shoulder, and both of this now relative older lions are in perfect condition without any signs of disease.. Those lumps are from injuries like ligaments injury, hematoms from punches etc.. Reply
