Hello welcome to the health care magic

The lump in mentioned site could be tendon sheath fibroma like lesion.

Local part x ray should be taken for further work up.

Local excision should be done after examination if needed

Take care

Hope your concern solved

Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and discuss your case
