I would recommend that you have Lady examined by a vet as soon as possible. It could possible be a rupture abscess or a tumor that has outgrown its blood supply and started dying from the inside. The vet will do an examination and may recommend surgery to remove the mass or to remove any infective or dead tissue to allow healing.
