What Causes Hard Lump In The Spot Where The Log Hit?

I dropped a large piece of wood on my ankle while cleaning up some storm damage, it started to swell and i stayed off it for a while. However three weeks later the swelling has gone down but there is a lump as hard as the bone in the spot the log hit. Should i be worried about it?

It is most likely an organised hematoma or blood collection which can get calcified. If it is bothersome better to have it removed by a small operation. Take care.
