Hello there; I'm afraid that I have lots of ideas, most of them the names of aggressive or benign skin lumps.  The problem is that ideas are unhelpful in this situation; it would be helpful to understand what is causing the lump, in order that you have solid information on which to base some decisions.  Your vet will be able examine it at close quarters and might help to narrow it down, but most crucially it is sometimes the type of cell making up the lump that is important - not the outer appearance, so they might well ask to carry out tests before it can be identified.

I wrote a blog about this a few years ago, which can still be searched for in the vet help direct blog.  It's called 'My Pet has a lump - what should I do?'   There are also some more recent blogs available if you look for 'lump' using our blog search bar.
