It could also be from lack of water. Just give the plant good care. This growth may wither away. It will eventually grow normally.

Thanks for the response- I wonder if it may be safer to remove the affected areas above the node just in case?

Just wondering if such an amputation may be too much of an action and may set the plant back significantly at a point when it needs every last bit of energy, or if it's a necessary precaution.
