Lipoma: most likely is a lipoma which is a collection of fat in the skin. They are usually a bit mobile and can be tender. Have a doctor take a look at it.

Worth getting seen: The spleen is located in the upper left abdomen, but usually cannot be felt unless enlarged. Because it can sometimes be enlarged in a number of conditions including infections (which include mononucleosis), blood disorders, ailments that affect the circulation of the liver, and other problems, it is worthwhile getting seen. History and physical will help to determine if workup is needed or not.
