My sisters ankle is budging out but no bruising what could it be ?

Many things: Depending on if she had any previous ankle sprains in the past gives clues as to what it may be. With old ankle injuries, she could have ankle swelling or ankle instability. If she has no trauma at all or previous ankle injuries then she could have some sort of tumor. The tumor diagnosis is rare, but a possibility. I would get an evaluation by an orthopedic specialist.
