Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of deltoid lump, I would come up with two possibilities, these include:
1.     a benign cyst-like condition like ganglion or bursa or just a sebaceous cyst!
2.     The second possibility is of benign vascular swelling like hemangioma, varicose vein or some lymphangioma!

In any case you need not worry much...

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
