Some of the most caring, educated and vigilant pet owners tend to ignore the little lumps until they become colossal catastrophes. Yep, it was going to be one of those days.<\/p>\n

Sitting calmly on my exam table was the cutest Chihuahua you could cradle in two hands. Chloe was \u201c103\/4\u201d according to her owner, a smartly dressed young woman who couldn\u2019t have been more than a teenager when Chloe was born. The problem was obvious: a dime-sized mass caked in dried blood protruded from Chloe\u2019s left shoulder.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was only a tiny bump until a couple of months ago. My groomer has been watching it and said it looked fine. It started bleeding after her last haircut, and now it\u2019s growing like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

I gingerly began feeling around the base of the mass, carefully watching Chloe for any signs of discomfort. The base of the swelling was hot and inflamed. As I applied pressure, Chloe informed me she\u2019d had enough. I knew what we needed to do next.<\/p>\n

Benign or dangerous?<\/h2>\n

Skin tumors and growths come in a tremendous variety of types: from deadly cancers, such as malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and mast cell tumors to benign warts, skin tags, cysts, abscesses and hair follicle tumors. The challenge is distinguishing a relatively harmless bump from a lethal lump \u2014 they can look the same.<\/p>\n

To tell the difference, you need to study the cells inside the mass using fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or a surgical biopsy. If you\u2019re female, you\u2019ve heard the importance of having any lump or bump in your breast or underarm area aspirated immediately. For over 30 years, this quick and safe procedure has saved innumerable lives and spared countless women surgery. FNA is also essential in dogs, but many owners aren\u2019t aware. Chloe was a reminder of the importance of \u201cDon\u2019t delay, FNA today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ignore those bumps<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Too many times in my career I\u2019ve had to inform a loving dog owner that the little \u201cfreckle\u201d or \u201ccyst that\u2019s been there forever\u201d was actually an aggressive malignant cancer. Too many times I\u2019ve wished I could go back in time and take an FNA that could have saved a life. Too many times I had to clutch a paw as a grieving pet parent sobbed, knowing things could have turned out differently if only they\u2019d acted sooner. Dogster family, help share this important message. If you or someone you know notices an unusual skin discoloration (especially \u201cdark and domed\u201d), any lump or bump (no matter how small or insignificant) or just plain \u201cweird skin\u201d on any pet, have it checked by a veterinarian ASAP. Together we can save lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How FNA works<\/h2>\n

I explained to Chloe\u2019s mom that I wanted to numb the area surrounding the mass and insert a needle into the swelling. I\u2019d aspirate some cells and examine them under a microscope.<\/p>\n

Based on our findings, we\u2019d either remove the mass or submit the cells for a pathologist to review. It\u2019s critical to determine if the mass is malignant or benign before proceeding with surgery. If the tumor is cancerous, the key to successful treatment and reducing the risk of spreading (metastasis) is to excise the malignancy with a wide, deep margin. If it\u2019s a benign cyst or growth, you can be quicker and more cosmetic by only removing the mass.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Chloe\u2019s mom agreed, and I got to work. After anesthetizing the area around the bloody mass using bupivacaine and buprenorphine, I carefully began my FNA. I chose this combination because I was hoping it would be a benign growth and that combination was perfect for a quick surgery. I\u2019d also been a veterinarian long enough to have been fooled more than once when guessing the origin of a skin tumor.<\/p>\n

As I collected the aspirate, I began to feel more optimistic. The mass contained fluid and pus, which I confirmed under the microscope. I continued scanning for any sign of suspicious or malignant cells and found none. I relayed my observations to the owner, and we elected to remove the mass and submit it for a full biopsy. Forty minutes later Chloe was back in her mom\u2019s arms with a neat row of \u201ccute little baby stitches!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The next day the pathologist confirmed the mass was an infected benign follicular tumor. Chloe would be fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cDr. Ward, thank you so much,\u201d said the owner. \u201cI feel terrible for ignoring the bump until it grew so big. I promise I\u2019ll never wait again!\u201d And that\u2019s a promise all of us should make.<\/p>\n
