What Does A Shadow At End Of Femur Indicate?

Hi,
My 13 year old child had an x ray of her leg due to a toe fracture, but wanted to rule out knee pain , it showed a shadow at end of femur. Dr not concerned saying it was a ?. My question is what could it be. He told us a diagnosis, but can't remember. She's now having some discomfort.
Thanks
