From your limited: description, it sounds like a lipoma or fibrolipoma. I cannot be sure without actual exam, so show it to your doctor just to be sure.

Varies: There are a number of possibilities from a bursa to a sebaceous cyst, lipoma, lymph node, etc. hard really to say more without actually seeing it. Consider being seen for an accurate diagnosis.
