Hi Alex, thanks for the question! From the pictures it's hard to say for sure what the lump could be. The only way to know for sure would be to have Luigi examined by a veterinarian and have a small needle sample obtained from the lump. I'd definitely recommend scheduling an appointment because the location of that lump makes it difficult for surgical removal if it should grow any larger. Possible causes for a growth in that location include benign causes like a meibomian gland tumor or cancerous tumors, like a mast cell tumor. Your best bet is to have it checked out to determine if surgical removal is necessary. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best of luck to you and Luigi!
