Could be an enlarged inguinal or popliteal lymph node which could indicate
and infection somewhere and not cancer.

The best thing to do is bring your cat to a vet ASAP for an examination. 
If
he determines its a mass, he can send a tissue sample to a pathologist for
cytologic and/or histopathologic examination.

Whatever is, the sooner you get your cat into a vet the better. Early
diagnosis and treatment usually results in the best prognosis.

Best of luck,
