Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump that you have detected could be due to a hematoma formation in the area due to injury. You can wait for a week and see if it subsides a little. This is not likely to be a cancer.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
