What Does A Lump On The Left Shoulder Indicate?

My son is 21 years old and noticed a lump on top of his left shoulder today after golfing. He said it was not painful or warm to the touch and that he had not been bitten by any insects or anything like that. What do you think this is? A cyst or a lipoma possibly?
