I'm very sorry Matte possibly have TVT! The good news is that is isn't contagious to humans, so you don't have to worry about it spreading to you or anyone else. This type of tumor rarely spreads to other parts of the body, so that's another piece of good news for you. In some dogs, these tumors can spontaneously regress, but it would be best to have it removed. Having it removed may be all that's needed to do to cure Matte of it, so I would speak to your vet about having the lump excised. Given that there is no pathologist who can handle the lump for diagnosis, I think your best bet is to remove the lump completely and see how he goes. I hope this helps you and Matte!
