Tumors in rodents are relatively uncommon, but they do sometimes occur. Are you sure it is a tumor. Who diagnosed it, and what part of the body is it on. They can be removed, depending on the size of the growth, and the locality, but can turn out to be costly to do this.
The word tumor actually means swelling. But the word is also used to denote abnormal tissue growth. Depending whether this growth is actually a tumor, or abscess, it is not always possible to distinguish between them at first sight. If it is a tumor, then it can be either malignant, or benign.
A malignant tumor is cancerous, possessing the ability to invade adjacent tissues and spread.
Benign tumors do not invade surrounding tissues, or metastasize (Spread from one part of the body to another). There are different types of tumors, some which may have different causes. But as I said before depending on what kind of tumor this is, and whether it is impairing the quality of his life. He may be able to live for quite some time.
