My cat has a strange flat spot on her leg. Could it be fibrosarcoma?

Question

Hi, I just noticed something weird on my cat's leg. It feels like thin, flat scar tissue on the underside of the skin, and on top the fur is flattened. It's probably 1" long and .25" wide. After Googling I'm really concerned it's a fibrosarcoma. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 5 years and 10 months old | 12 lbs

Hello, how are you doing today? i would really need to see a picture in order to try and identify the issue, it could be an old scar that went unnoticed, it could also be some other skin condition such as a bacterial infection, fungal infection and even parasitic disease, i would definitely not run into conclusion that it might be fibrosarcoma (google search will always show you the worse case scenarios which are usually also the most rare)
