Hello,
The mentioned history suggestive of some tumour development in that area probably.
The physical examination is needed to check origin of that lump whether from bone or soft tissue.
Local part USG can be done for primary work up.
After that Fine needle aspiration cytology can be done to rule out nature of lesion.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
