It's possible that it's fungal, but with a pond of that size, I doubt it. Goldfish and similar fish are prone to certain tumors and cancers. You can try a quarantine tank with a fungus remedy, but if that doesn't help, and the fish seems to swim and act fine, I would leave it alone. If it becomes too large for the fish to swim normally, or it stops eating, you'll likely need to euthanize.
