This sounds like a benign fatty tumor [do you have any on your back or legs?]. Lymph nodes are firm and NOT fatty-feeling; they also can increase and shrink in size. Fatty tumors do not. If it bothers you a general surgeon can easily removed it for you.

What is a big lump on my back?
A soft, painless, somewhat movable lump under the skin is most likely a "lipoma" A lipoma is basically a mass of fatty tissue. In medical terms it is considered a "soft tissue tumor" but it is not cancerous. It is harmless aside from the cosmetic issue; it can be removed by a simple procedure, but there is a risk of scarring.

The most common and basic test for breast cancer, and one which could save your life is the self examination and search for lumps in the breast tissue.

There is no record of a bilingual hernia, but there is a very common type of hernia called inguinal hernia. This type of hernia occurs when fatty tissues or part of an organ, such as your bowel, pushes through the muscles in your stomach wall near your groin. This happens most often to men who will feel a lump in their groin area after exertion. Sometimes lying down will cause the tissue to recede back behind the stomach muscles and the lump goes away. Other times the lump remains and requires a doctor's intervention.
