What Causes A Bony Nodule On The Arm?
HI - I bony nodule growing from the lateral ulna, 2.5 inches distal l to the elbow. I doesn t move and is very tender. I do use my forearms for working on people (bodywork/massage) so that area is frequently touched. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely a fibroma. You can approach an orthopedician and have a local examination. It should be removed if it is causing pain and discomfort. It can be removed by local anesthesia and specimen should be send for histopathology examination. You can go home same day also. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
