Thanks for your question on HCM.
By your history and description, I think it is benign swelling mostly fibroid, dermoid or lipoma.
All are benign soft tissue swellings.
Ultrasound examination and biopsy of the lesion is needed to find out the cause.
So get done these things. No need to worry much.
I find this answer helpful
