Typically fatty masses are lipoma's which are benign. However, it is always best to have your vet take a look at this and feel it in person just to be sure. The vet may also offer having it tested to be absolutely sure. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Take care. : )
