Hello,
It could be a clump of tissue called ganglion or a fibroma which needs to be confirmed by examination and sos FNAC.Both conditions are benign but its better to get treatment due to the location of the lump where regular trauma can cause bleeding/infection etc.Please see a orthopedic surgeon.
