Hi.
This could be a lymph node attached to the muscle and hence not movable.

The best way to get a diagnosis is not the blood work; it is ultrasonography and FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology that will give the diagnosis.

Please go for this and you will get the perfect diagnosis. Another way is to get the excision biopsy.
