Hello,
A palpable lump or swelling can be the first sign of a benign tumour. Sometimes tumors are discovered only after a fracture occurs where the bone has been weakened by the growth of the tumor. Pain associated with a bony lesion is cause for immediate concern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
