It can be a lipoma that is collection of the fat cells. I would suggest you to get ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. It can be a infective swelling also as you are saying that it is causing pain in the arm. Ultrasound will confirm the diagnosis. If it is lipoma then it can be leave alone or it can be excised.
