I asked the vet and he said that the lumps were not sent to the lab as they were fatty tissue which he said are most usually benign and that Nanuk has another six or seven small ones which became evident when he shaved Nanuk to make the incision.
He removed the main lump and another one about 1cm to the side of it which I didn't know was there but he explained that unless they begin impeding Nanuk's comfort or if they become infected, they can be left.
Nanuk seems to be recovering well and is on Metacam for the pain and inflammation. It seems to be working as he has been on his wheel a bit this evening.
I gave him some basmati rice as a treat which he loved.
