What Causes A Growing Lump On Lower Leg?

I have a lump on right side of lower leg about 3 inches above the ankle. I have no pain and have run in many road races up to the age of 58. I am 65 yrs old and have noticed this for several yrs but seems to be getting a little bigger. Curious to know what this is. Thanks

Hello,

I suggest You to have an ultrasound of it done and biopsy if necessary. Without this tests it is impossible to say what might it be.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
