What Causes Prominent Boney Lump Formation Outside The Leg?

My daughter, age 5, has a prominent boney lump on the outside of her leg (at the top of her shin bone). I think there is one on her other leg but not as obvious. She is very slight and her knee joints look big but I put this down to her skinny legs. Are these lumps normal?

Hello,

It could be an osteoma. However other causes must be ruled out. Consult an orthopaedic and get evaluated. An X-ray is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
