What Causes Lump In Elbow?

I have DVT and am on warfarin. Whilst having a blood test for my INR levels the nurse noticed a hard lump in the inside of my elbow. This lump has a diameter of about 35mm and is raised slightly by about 3mm. The lump appears to be getting bigger but is not painful. I am going to europe in the middle of April and hope that this is nothing to be concerned about as my flight had to be cancelled in december 2010 due to the DVT. Three years ago I was diagnosed with PE but came off warfrin after 6 months. What do you think this lump could be and if this lump.is in any way related to my condition. Thank you for your valued advice. .
