Hi.
Thanks for your query.
If the lump is moving when you massage it , it is most likely to be lipoma.
The best way to diagnose is ti have an ultrasonography examination and FNAC =fine needle aspiration cytology, if required.

Somehow I am of the opinion- if there is a lump - which is not a normal part of the , why would one like to keep it- keep the tensions of thinking it to be a cancer, keep it in the body to grow and cause complications..
The best way is to consult a Surgeon- request him get this out, send for examination, confirm the diagnosis..

I hope you are getting a correct message. Operation is the best policy.
