This is likely to be a benign type of skin growth quite common in adult-old dogs. Unfortunately I cannot give you a definitive answer as usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
