More : More information is needed for a proper recommendation. Different diagnosis could have the same presentation, causing bumps to show, like dupuytren's, ganglions or even abscesses. Is it superficial or deep, painful or not? Go see your pcp for a proper evaluation.

A : A common condition is dupuytrens which is not related to typical blunt trauma. Other common problems include scar reaction adjacent to a small cut or blister, an inclusion cyst or foreign body and a ganglion of the tendon sheath where the finger and palm meet. A jammed finger typically is not related to these common conditions that present as a lump in the palm. Talk to your doctor about this for more information.

There : There are many possibilities for this hard lump. It could be a fibroma, the start of a dupuytren's contracture, a ganglion cyst... It's very difficult to say what this could be without seeing it in person and doing a thorough physical exam. It's probably best to see a physician who performs hand surgery since someone with this specialized training would have the most experience with various hand masses.
