Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I think it is a tumour. It is benign type, I mean this is not dangerous and grows very slowly and usually causes minimum discomfort. If this is remain like this for years then also it is not dangerous.
As you are saying that it is not much problematic for you so you can just wait for some more time, If it start causing pain during sitting or difficulty in walking then you can plan for surgical removal of this swelling.
It is a minor surgery and can be done on day care basis. So it will not be costly for your pocket also.
