Brief Answer:
Please, upload an image for review!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this lump and all the disturbing thoughts that this has caused you. I have reviewed your information fully and understand your concerns. I know a lump always raises the fear of cancer. However, this is far from that. The described area is made up of a bone and it is my belief that this lump will likely be a bone overgrowth/protrusion and not related to cancer. An image will be very helpful in making the difference.
Lumps related to cancer grow over a long time period and are usually accompanied by weight loss , general body fatigue, night fevers and sweats, etc. You do not have any of these symptoms and there is no reason to think there are strings arguments to raise enough fears about cancer.

Attached is a photo of knot
Brief Answer:
Probably a soft tissue mass!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This looks more like a soft tissue mass. It could be a collection of fat or liquid. This is most likely not cancer. I will recommend that you stay calm and relaxed. The visit to your doctor will provide the final word on this after examination and may be some laboratory and imaging tests.
