General Surgeon 's  Response
U may have varicose veins, but i would like to know whether u have to remain long time standing or not. if u r a female, and r u pregnant or recently given birth to a baby. Even it can be vascular malformations. Get a colour doppler. Also consult for physical examination of the lump for its consistency and relation to surrounding structures. There should not be a reason to worry.
