Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. However you have history of lymphoma. So there can be chance of lymphoma. Best thing to do is biopsy. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
