What Causes A Lump At The Back Of Head?

Yesterday a pecan sized lump appeared on the back lower right side of my head. It's tender but not painful. I had been having right upper abdomen pain and was recently diagnosed with erosive gastritis and ulcers. Should I be concerned about this knot? It is hard and immovable. I also have been getting really bad headaches for the last few months. They start midday and continue to get worse through out the rest of the day.
