Tumors are fairly rare. It could be some sort of cyst, but you'll need to consult a vet.

Would a cyst not be raised like a bump? I don't think any vets in my area know bout axy's.... i know i have asked before as i needed one for my tortoise before and rang around had a carry on trying to get him chipped and they all just dealt with furry and feathered pets :-(
