Hi.
IT is very difficult to say why has this occurred. Black greenish lump in the arm looking like a stone can in fact be something like Myositis Ossificance , or a calcified guinea worm.
The best way is to consult a General Surgeon and get this excised, Send it for histopathological examination.
The old dictum is get anything out of the body which is not a normal part of the and get it examined.
