hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics, such as imaging (x-ray, ct-scan or MRI) and biopsy, may be suggested for further evaluation of the mass, which could be any of the benign lesions (cystic formation, lipoma or hemangioma). other tumor types (such as malignancy) must also be ruled-out.
management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
