Without an exam or diagnostics, it is almost impossible to determine if this is a malignancy or a benign condition. You can monitor it at home for now IF it isn't causing discomfort or interfering with movement or urination. Things to watch for are rapid change or growth, pain, bruising or discharge. These are all symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian. A fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This could lead to a diagnosis. You can then discuss treatment options with your veterinarian. If necessary, discuss payment plans or alternative financing options, such as CareCredit ( www.carecredit.com ), with your veterinarian.
