What would cause a lump the size of half a golf ball?

under the chin of my adult cat? He's an indoor/outdoor cat.

Update:

Good answers, but first 2 are wrong. You are going to be surprised to hear what my vet already found!

Update 2:

HINT: Cattle also can get these lumps on their backs.

Update 3:

Lexxie you are absolutely correct. It was a nasty wiggly bug the vet removed. He was bitten by a fly.

    -It's either a Cyst, or a Tumor... And You NEED to get it to the Vet- if you plan to have the Cat around much longer... :o

    It might be a fat deposit.

    Or, a hernia.

    They're small lumps, and as far as I know, totally harmless.

    It's like a mole, but, on a cat.

    Just go to the vet, and they can remove it.

    Or, you can leave it. :)
