What Causes Lump On The Side Of Shin Bone?

Sure. I just noticed a lump on the side of my shin bone about 4 below the knee. It is about 1 1/2 long by 1/2 or so wide, running vertical along the inside of the bone. No pain. I can t really tell if it is soft or hard, as it could be just as hard as the fatty deposits get. Any ideas?

not to worry much as this is benign condition like lipoma, sebaceous cyst, a bursa or just a neurofibroma!
