Brief Answer:
Ganglion cyst is the most probable reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Can you please attach a photo of this lump.
In mentioned location most common type of lump is a ganglion cyst. Its a kind of herniation coming from the joint or ligamentum and filled with clear fluid.
This is always benign lesion. Does not become cancerous at all.

The only problem it can give is pain. In such case it can be removed by a surgeon.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
