What Causes A Small Lump In The Armpit?

I can feel a small lump on the underside of my arm, maybe 5 inches or so down from the center of my right armpit. About the size of a pea. I can pinch the skin over the lump without moving the lump. No other lumps that I can detect in the armpits, neck or chest. No known health issues...sweats, fever, etc. I am 68. Thank you.
