My dear Guiniviere had two bumps, both on her neck.  I would have described
them exactly as you have described Giesela's lesion.  On of my vets took a
plug, and diagnoses them as mast cell tumors.  Vets, please correct me, but
I thought these types of tumors, in the skin, are easily treated by
excision.  The problem is, what part of metastasy does a given tumor
represent - is it one of many?  Are others internal?  what else is affected?
is it metastasizing?
