Brief Answer:
This can be enlarged lymph node. Ultrasound is advisable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Lump in this location is an alarming symptom. Its because this might be enlarged lymph node. Unfortunately in some cases lymph node in this location is a sign of cancer. Breast cancer is possible and should be ruled out at first.
That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible and have breasts, armpits and mentioned area ultrasound done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
