While not all lumps are dangerous, it's important to have them properly assessed by a veterinarian. At Moreton Bay Vets, we offer <strong data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"469\">surgical lump removal<\/strong> for cats and dogs to diagnose, treat, or prevent potential health problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"871\">A lump may be a benign (non-cancerous) growth such as a lipoma (fatty tumor), cyst, or wart\u2014but it could also be a sign of a more serious condition like a malignant tumor. The goal of surgical removal is to eliminate the growth, relieve discomfort, and\u2014most importantly\u2014gain a clear diagnosis through lab testing if needed.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"876\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"184\" data-end=\"235\"><strong data-start=\"188\" data-end=\"235\">Understanding Benign Lumps in Cats and Dogs<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"237\" data-end=\"533\">Not all lumps are dangerous\u2014in fact, many are <strong data-start=\"283\" data-end=\"293\">benign<\/strong>, meaning they are non-cancerous and typically do not spread to other parts of the body. However, even benign lumps should be assessed by a veterinarian, as they can still cause problems depending on their size, location, or rate of growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"604\">Some of the most common benign lumps we see in cats and dogs include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"1411\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"826\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"826\"><strong data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"619\">Lipomas<\/strong>: These are soft, fatty tumors often found under the skin in middle-aged to older dogs. They tend to grow slowly and are generally harmless, but large lipomas can interfere with mobility or become irritated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1005\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"1005\"><strong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"851\">Sebaceous Cysts<\/strong>: These occur when a hair follicle or oil gland becomes blocked. They often appear as small, firm bumps and may rupture or become infected if not treated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1214\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1214\"><strong data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1033\">Warts (Papillomas)<\/strong>: Caused by a virus, warts are typically seen in younger animals and can appear around the mouth, face, or paws. They are usually harmless but can be bothersome or multiply quickly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1411\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1411\"><strong data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1237\">Histiocytomas<\/strong>: Common in younger dogs, these small, raised lumps often appear suddenly and may shrink on their own over time. They are usually benign but can resemble more serious tumors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1509\">Even though benign lumps don\u2019t metastasize (spread), they may still require <strong data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1500\">removal<\/strong> if they:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1820\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1548\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1548\">Grow quickly or become very large<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1658\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1658\">Are located where they interfere with your pet\u2019s movement or comfort (e.g., under a limb or near a joint)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1701\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1701\">Become ulcerated, infected, or painful<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1747\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1747\">Are cosmetically concerning for the owner<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1820\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1820\">Cannot be definitively identified without removal and histopathology<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"2080\">In some cases, a benign lump may look similar to a malignant one based on physical exam alone. That\u2019s why we often recommend <strong data-start=\"1947\" data-end=\"1997\">sampling the lump (via fine-needle aspiration)<\/strong> or sending it for <strong data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2034\">histopathology<\/strong> after removal to be certain of the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1712\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"267\" data-end=\"322\"><strong data-start=\"271\" data-end=\"322\">Understanding Malignant Tumors in Cats and Dogs<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"324\" data-end=\"626\">Unlike benign lumps, <strong data-start=\"345\" data-end=\"365\">malignant tumors<\/strong> are <strong data-start=\"370\" data-end=\"391\">cancerous growths<\/strong> that can invade surrounding tissues and, in many cases, <strong data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"472\">spread (metastasize)<\/strong> to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, or lymph nodes. These types of tumors often require more aggressive treatment and close monitoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"937\">Malignant tumors can vary widely in appearance, location, and behavior, which is why <strong data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"788\">a physical exam alone is not enough to determine if a lump is cancerous<\/strong>. Veterinary surgeons and oncologists rely on tools like <strong data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"896\">biopsy, histopathology, blood work, and imaging<\/strong> to diagnose and stage cancer accurately.<\/p>\n<h5 data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"988\"><strong data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"988\">Common Types of Malignant Tumors in Pets<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"2096\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1246\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1246\"><strong data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1019\">Mast Cell Tumors (MCTs)<\/strong>: These are one of the most common skin cancers in dogs.
