What Causes Lump On Penis And A Soft Area During Erection?

I am a 52 year old and I recently noticed that when I have an erection I have a soft area about half way down the shaft and about 15mm long. I also have a small lump in the same area when my penis is flacid. From the information I gained from google it seams this lump, and a more general hardening along the length is in the main vein that runs along the top of the penis.
