My daughters hamster had the same thing.
The poor guy couldn't put his back leg down it got so big... it was a tumor, and the vet took it out.
It cost an arm and a leg, but he saved the little thing and it lived until it was 2 1/2, which is good for a hamster, and good for my daughter, because it helped teach her about caring for your animals.

A boil
or
A tumor.
Hamsters only live about 2 years. Any older than that and they start getting tumors.
If the hamster is young, it could be an abcess. See a vet to have it cleaned and get meds to help.

Could you describe it more? If the hamster is old (3+ years) it might be best to have it put down if something is wrong. A vet should be able to clear it up though.
