Help identifying a soft bump on our dog's leg

We noticed in the attached picture, a bulge / bump on our Yellow Labs front right leg elbow :(

It is soft and doesn’t seem to bother her.
She also has not issues running out in the yard (no limp).

Does this need to be looked at by a vet?

Will it harm her if we leave it as is?

thanks

On almost all cases those are lipomas, a tumor made of fat, they should be monitored periodically to prevent from damaging articulations (depending on location) or invading crucial areas like the mammary glands, also checks for any changes on size or if it becomes uncomfortable should be observed. Your vet is your most reliable source of information, specially for things like this where a physical examination is needed for an accurate diagnosis.
