Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your son may have gynaecomastia. It is common at pubertal age. You should go for examination. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
