It could be that Kuba had a cyst, which is why it was removed (they can grow back even after being drained). This new lump could be another cyst, a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a benign tumor, or a malignant tumor. Because I can't see him in person, I can't say for certain what this lump is, and I would follow your vet's recommendation to watch it for now. Wait and see if it grows bigger, and if it does, then I would talk to the vet about getting it removed.
