Sudden Appearance Of Shallow Lump On Upper Left Quadrant Of The Back. Should I Worry ?

My neighbor just brought her almost 3 year old son over asking about the sudden appearance of a rather large (in area) but relatively shallow lump on the upper left quadrant of his back. She did not see it last night or this morning (and she is a very observant mother). There is no discoloration, no evidence of bite marks (even under a magnifying glass), no warmth to it and the child says it does not hurt. Of course, as a young mother she is concerned but we told her to just watch him and call her doctor tomorrow. Since I ran into your website, I decided to submit the query. Thank you
