Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/53 - severe bruise couple years ago on shin - have lump at the same area - was checked - but the lump appears larger and have ankle swelling at the end of the day ...

Please give some additional information for me to assist you better:
- Is the lump fixed to the bone or is XXXXXXX (free from the bone and the skin also) or moves with skin?
- Any redness, pain, tenderness?
- What is the size, shape and consistency (soft/ firm/ hard)?
- Please post clear photographs of the lump and affected area.

I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to give a feedback, post photographs and ask for further relevant queries.
Awaiting for your feedback.

Brief Answer:
As discussed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
This may then be an organised hematoma or fibrous/scar tissue or an inclusion cyst like a sebaceous cyst.
The swelling over ankle at the end of the day can come due to many reasons:
Varicose veins
partial lymphatic blockage and so on.

A proper clinical examination and investigations can help you to get an appropriate diagnosis. Consult an Orthopedic or a General Surgeon for proper clinical evaluation and diagnosis for a proper plan of management.
