MassRemoval
Finding a lump on your beloved pet can be one of the most frightening experiences for any pet owner. The good news? Most lumps and bumps found on dogs and cats are benign, but the only way to know for certain is through professional removal and pathological examination. Our experienced surgical team specializes in the safe, precise removal of suspicious masses, combining advanced surgical techniques with comprehensive pathology services to provide you with definitive answers and peace of mind.
Understanding Lumps and Bumps
Lumps and bumps are incredibly common in pets, especially as they age. Studies show that skin masses are among the most frequent conditions seen in veterinary practice, with dogs being particularly prone to developing various types of growths throughout their lives.
Why Professional Evaluation Matters: Unfortunately, appearance can be deceiving. Many benign masses can look suspicious, whilst some cancerous growths may appear harmless. Without microscopic examination by a qualified pathologist, determining the true nature of any mass is impossible. This is why the veterinary oncology principle "See Something, Do Something - Why Wait? Aspirate!" has become so important in modern pet healthcare.
Understanding Lumps and Bumps
Common Benign Masses:
- Lipomas - soft, fatty tumors that are generally harmless
- Sebaceous cysts - blocked oil glands that may become inflamed
- Skin tags - harmless growths on stalks from the skin surface
- Histiocytomas - common in young dogs, often resolve spontaneously
- Warts and papillomas - viral-induced growths, usually benign
Potentially Malignant Masses:
- Mast cell tumors - the most common skin cancer in dogs
- Melanomas - can be aggressive, especially in certain locations
- Soft tissue sarcomas - arising from connective tissues
- Mammary tumors - more common in unspayed females
- Lymphomas - affecting lymph nodes and other organs
