Hi & Welcome.
As per the given report of X-Ray, it is suggestive of some benign conditions
like infections of the bone, fibroma, granuloma, or bone cyst.
It may also be due to tumors (cancers) like osteoblastoma, giant cell tumor, myeloma, metastatic tumor, etc.
You need to be clinically examined by an orthopedic surgeon and to carry out further imaging studies like MRI or CT scans.
Hope this will help in coming to a diagnosis.
Best wishes.
