General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It can be a benign swelling like a lipoma or dermoid cyst. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. A fine needle biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
