What Does A Lump Behind The Neck Indicate?

My 11 year old daughter just brought to my attention a quarter sized lump in the back of her neck. Not directly on spine but not under ear. It's about inch and a half to side of spine. Under skin. Disformative shape and depth. Very Hard. Deep enough so not visably noticable. Doesn't hurt at all even when pushed on...so she hasn't thought to mention it's been there growing for at least A YEAR.
