I have a lump on my inner right thigh, deep under the skin.

I was having a massage last week, and the therapist asked me if I had a bruse on my upper thigh.  I said no.  She showed me the lump that she felt, and asked if it hurt.  It didn't hurt.  It is about the size of a quarter in length and width.  I feels like a solid lump.  Not in an exact shape.  If I press it together, it feels like... well, something that doesn't belong there.  It has some texture to it.  Not sure if its in the fat or muscle.  I'm very worried.  I don't have insurance.  And, I wonder what I should do next.  Thank you.

I did check out the pictures and examples of Dermatofibroma, and this isn't what I was trying to explain.  The lump that I feel, is deep into my thigh muscle or fat wall.  Not prodruting (sp?).  I do have very sore lymph nodes on my Left side.  I am seeing a surgical oncologist on Friday.  My Fiancee' is a female Surgical oncologist and called a fellow in our area.  This lump is under the skin with no physical appearance.  Thank you for your advice. And I will report back with results.
