Hello!
Thank you for the query.
In this location, the most probable reason is varicose vein due to veins insufficiency. Some kind of cyst is also possible if this lump is close to the joint.
The best way to find out what exactly it is, is to perform an ultrasound of this area. If bone related lump is possible, also an x-ray should be done.
Please consult a surgeon with this issue.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
