What Causes A Lump In Forearm

My husband has a bump or lump in rt. forearm just below the elbow. Some days it is more prevalent than others. Xray revealed no conclusions. Primary dr. now wants to do an MRI. However, ortho dr, said it was a similarcommon olecranon bursa. But after reading up on this, the symptoms are not the same. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
