Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump at the base of spine associated with tingling sensation suggests that the lump is arising from nerve.
Any swelling arising from nerve is usually associated with tingling sensation.
Since, the lump is near the spine, possibility of being associated with the spine is more likely.
An imaging study is required to know the site of origin and underlying site of attachment.
On the basis of its attachment or origin to underlying structures, further management can be planned.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for further work up.

Thanks and take care
