Brief Answer:
Get it examined! Might be a fat deposit!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

I have reviewed this attached mass and it looks like a lipoma: collection of fat tissue. For this to be confirmed, we need to complete it with an examination. I will suggest that you talk to your doctor about this for confirmation. It generally doesn't hurt and presents no emergency. Plan this according to your availability.

Keep me posted on this.
