My cat has a bump on her nose. Is it from an injury or serious?

Question

So I just noticed a small bump on my cats nose. It's not on the tip of her nose but a little further up. Should I be concerned. I'm not sure if she bumped it while playing or it's something else. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 5 months old | 11 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She is adorable! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good night!
