My dog has a sudden lump. Could it be a histiocytoma? Should I wait?

Question

I have a 1 year old male black lab. I believe he has a histiocytoma. Should I see of it goes away or have it removed? It appeared rather suddenly. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 60 lbs

I would have Milo seen by a vet to confirm that he does have a histiocytoma. If he does have one, then I would wait to see if it goes away. They typically spontaneous regress within three months. Should three months pass and it's still there, then I would discuss with your vet having it removed.
