Hello,
We have to look for conditions like lipoma and ganglion cyst. Both are benign (non-cancerous) swelling and does not cause much problems.
You can go for an ultrasound scan to get a better clinical picture. If there is a diagnostic confusion, a fine needle biopsy may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
