One of the most common causes of a lump on the shin bone is shin splints.  Some of the symptoms of shin splints are tenderness over the inside of the shin, lumps and bumps over the shin bone, pain when the toes or foot are bent downwards as in running and playing basketball etc...

But that is just one cause, you should set up an appointment with your doctor to have it checked out.
