It could be a ligament on the dog, they can get really big and they can come out of nowhere. Does it move? Is it tight?

Considering the age of the dog it is probably a fatty cyst. You may actually find others. If ur concerned take her to the vet for a proper diagnosis. If it's a cyst it's harmless just unsightly. Just keep an eye on the size if it gets too big it might need to be reduced or removed.
