Is Lump Above The Knee Post Injury A Cause For Concern?

My daughter injured her knee by running into a metal pole 3 weeks ago. It was swollen and bruised. Now she has a lump (1 inch) above her knee (slightly discoloured skin over top). It is not painful when walking or doing activity. Should I have it checked out?
