Brief Answer:
It can be bone out growth.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be a bone out growth. You can go to an orthopedician to get it examined. X ray will be required to visualize it. It can be excised surgically and sent for histopathology examination after that to confirm it is benign.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
