Weird things can and do
occur. I had a very persistent seroma (enclosed fluid) after a mastectomy. Draining and massage (largely the latter) reduced it over time but also revealed - gulp! A lump. An ultrasound revealed another seroma - an encapsulated amount of fluid inside the first seroma. More massage! Which may be a version of what you have. Good luck with recovery and the next stage of your treatment.
