Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include , lipomas, exostosis(benign bony outgrowth), growths from underlying connective tissue etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. He may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
