My dog has a lump on her chest under the skin. What could it be?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

So my English bulldog has a lump to the left of her chest that is under her skin. The lump is a little bit bigger than a quarter and a centimeter in length. I'm thinking it is a benign tumer but I'm not sure. I know I should take her to the vet but I want to make sure it's a big thing. Can you please tell me what your thoughts are of what it could be?

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take her to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
