Hello! Thank you for the query. If you have had varices on this leg, such lump can be a varicose vein with blood clot inside. This can cause local inflammation and a bruise similar to described by you. Please do not wait with it and consult your doctor as soon as possible. Dopplers ultrasound of leg veins should be done and heparin treatment considered. Hope this will help. Regards.
