Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Marley! Scar tissue formation is normal at the site of an incision. But due to Marley's history of mast cell tumors and their propensity to regrow that the site, I would have him evaluated by your Vet and consider aspirating the area to be sure it isn't the mast cell returning. The fact that the lump is that then end makes me think it is more likely scar tissue. I hope this helps and I wish Marley the best!
