These bumps look like benign adenomas but without doing a cytology I cannot say for sure that they are benign. There are other types of masses that could look similar like histiocytomas (benign) and mast cell tumor (malignant). Watch them closely - if they grow, change, or if she is bothered by them, I would recommend to see your vet so they can look under the microscope to see what type of tumors they are. I hope this helps!
