I think it was one of those things that was at first called a sebaceous cyst or something. I'll have to go back and look at that article you wrote Lynx. I think it was yours. Anyway, if they burst or get bitten open they exude this pasty stuff that at first doesn't smell until its been open a while and bacteria gets in there. And its all granule like and stuff as it dries. Ick.

I was actually born with one on my forehead and that's about what it looked like.
TXR got him from animal control. But his sweet loving personality with a tendency to nip, but rarely nip hard, made me believe that he was loved by a kid who's parents would not spring for a vet. Thankfully he did get to one in time.
Lynx - Follicular Cyst, I believe is what type it is. Found the link to the article:

His original one just burst or got chewed open and became infected with bacteria. They said it smelled horrid and was the worst abscess they had seen.
He has at least two more lumps growing; one on his back and one near the shoulders. If they never get very large he will be fortunate and not have to go to any more surgery. But I keep an eye on them to see how they are progressing all the time. At least they are not open like that one and therefor not infected and they are noncancerous.
He's been with us nearly three years.
And we don't know how old he was before.
At least he's still acting pretty spry for a white guy. ;)
