This appears to be a tumor or a large cyst. There is no way to discern whether it is malignant or benign via a photo. Your veterinarian can take a small tissue sample from the tumor and send it in to evaluate it. He can also take the whole tumor and send the whole thing in. Best schedule an appointment for an exam soon.
