Brief Answer: This is unlikely to be cancer Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this mass that you found. Unless there are other symptoms, it would be very unlikely to represent cancer. cancers grow over time and rarely do they just appear from no way over night. Most common cause of these masses on the body if often a lipoma. However, this location is not typical of lipomas. I think it would be a great idea to get it examined at your convenience. there is no need going to the emergency room to get this checked out because it presents no urgency and would be expensive for no real reasons. In summary: Not likely to be cancer, no need for an ER visit, plan and get it examined when you have the time. I hope this helps. i wish you well.
