What is a dog tumor? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
A dog tumor is an inappropriate proliferation of cells. A cell population goes unchecked. They can be tumors in the skin, under the skin. For instance, fat is a common benign tumor called a lipoma in dogs. We'll commonly see that, and they’re not always cancerous. Any cell line that decides it wants to divide at an unchecked abnormal rate.
