It could be a benign fatty tumor, or it could be a life-threatening cancerous tumor. If the lump seems soft and moves easily under pressure, it is probably harmless. However, if the lump is hard and stationary, set up a vet appointment as soon as possible to have the tumor examined.

It is also possible that the mass is caused by an infected animal bite or other wound; in this case, a vet's care is necessary. It could also be a build-up of scar tissue following an injury or surgery, or a slight deformity, neither of which are dangerous. Nevertheless, identifying the lump, whatever it may turn out to be, is a job for a professional.
