What Causes Lump Below The Dog Bite And Squishy Stomach?

Several weeks ago, my large dog caught me off guard and jumped up on me. Her paws hit me square in the stomach (to the lower left of my belly button). It really hurt when she did it and I noticed a huge bruise several days later. The bruise is beginning to fade (all sorts of green and yellow), but I just noticed a nickel sized lump directly under the bruise. My stomach is fairly squishy so it may have been there, but I just now notice it. Do you think this is related to the injury or should I be concerned? (Female- age 39- no health concerns, but overweight).
