Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic..
I thank you for posting your query here..

I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases day in and day out..
I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..

Though it's tough to say without seeing the swelling, but all I can say is Lipoma is the most common swelling in such area..

Sometimes it can be a swelling arising from nerve sheath or from muscle..

If you could, provide the picture or the CT scan report I can say what exactly it is and how to go about .

Hope this helps you, in case you need further assistance, please contact me directly by searching my profile Dr Manjunath Metri.
Take care..

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Most likely this seems to be sebaceous cyst , can be removed with
surgery ,
- still better insight would be provided with whole CT report and a
high resolution clinical photograph of the cyst as an attachment .

Hope this clears your query .

Welcome for further guidance .
Regards dear .
