My husband has been having a golf ball size swelling on the outer part of his right ankle for more than a year. initially there was no pain but lately?

LOOKED AT: He should have it looked at by a podiatrist or foot/ankle orthopedist. If it's a soft tissue growth, it's probably benign, but I have had malignant soft tissue growths present exactly like that.
