No offense but please do not try to give a diagnosis over the internet 1) without being a licensed vet 2) seeing the animal.

Take the monitor to a reptile vet and have it checked out and x-rays performed of the affected area(s). Could be MBD, could be tumors or even cancer. You just don't know. Could even be a calcium deposit or bone over growth from a previous break /injury. You just don't know and shouldn't guess.

Head to the vet.

Oh an the only monitor species that requires UV lighting is acanthurus (aka Ackie).
