Warty lump 3x1cm

I've just found this lump on Jess:
http://i68.tinypic.com/15pnazl.jpg

Don't know how I've missed it until now but it's about 3cm by 1cm on the skin around her rump, that is her left back leg at the bottom of the image. She is 11 years 9 months old. She is on metacam after developing a limp of her right back leg, so I wondered whether this was caused by her leaning on the left so as not to lean on her right leg but even now she isn't lying on the left side and doesn't seem to lean on the left that much as far as I can remember. Going to call the vet this morning for advice.
Has anyone seen anything like it?
 
I imagine the vet will suggest sticking a needle in it and sending it off for testing. That will tell you what it is and whether it's something you can ignore or needs removing. They can get fatty lumps, tumours (which can be beign) and abscesses but you can't really tell just looking.
 
Thanks for your messages. It ended up bursting partly and the vet has removed it today, it was an abscess, never seen one like it! She is doing really well now, can't believe it as I was sure she was going to die as she is pretty frail but she keeps bouncing back :)
She has been put on sulfatrim for ten days, already on metacam, got some antiseptic wash for her eye as her tear ducts aren't great. It sounds like she's falling to bits but she is quite happy eating, drinking, cleaning herself and cage mate, investigating and being her usual curious self. I'm so happy she is okay :)
