Brief Answer:
hi

Detailed Answer:
No,this is not usual manifestation of tumors so you don't have to be concerned. This is probably just some benign subcutaneous lesion such as fibromia, lipoma or ateroma. this can be surgically removed under local anesthesia if there is esthetic concerns or rapid growth. Wish you good health.regards
