Suggest Treatment For A Large Lump On The Thigh

My wife is 50 y/o overweight, just lost 60 lbs and is still about 50 overweight. Since she lost her weight she has noticed a large mass (baseball size) on her outer left mid thigh. It is deep, hard and no pain. No other noticeable symptoms. And ideas?
