What Causes A Hard Lump In The Shin Area?

My 12 year old daughter had a hard lump on her shin thats two inch s long and an inch wide. It does not hurt and isnt moveable. She had an xray done and i had a call today that I have to take her to see the dr in regards to the lump. Im really scared and wish I could get answers now. Do you have any ideas on what it could be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
There are so many conditions in which lump is seen on shin like Infection,
Sebaceous cyst,Ingrown hair follicle,Varicose vein,Malignancy,Skin cancer,
Fracture,Haematoma,Ganglion,Callus formation,Scar tissue,Lymphadenopathy,
Shin injury. once x ray report comes your dr can tell you the diagnosis as well as the line of treatment which depends on the diagnosis.In my view as it is not troubling and no symptoms it may be harmless and may not require any treatment. You better discuss with your treating dr.
