My hamster has a painful stomach lump. Is it a tumor? What's the cost?

Question

Hello, I have a Roborovski dwarf hamster, about 3 weeks ago I saw this big lump in my stomach’s hamster. I really don’t know what I can do? Or what that is? Could it be a tumor? And is there a possibility to remove it and how much would it be. He also has a wound that I imagine he made it to himself because that big lump must hurt. Please help me. Thank you.

This is most likely a tumor, which are common in hamsters. it's usually possible to remove such a tumor surgically but of course the risks of anesthesia in hamsters are quite high. price wise this could range between 300-500$.
