My American shorthair has suddenly developed what feel like BB (small marble-esque shapes) on her stomach. I found two of them myself late at night and spent the rest of the night googling what it could be and it seems every description of mammarian tumors, which said 50-90% of are malignant. I took her to the vet the next day and they say they don't know what they are but ruled out mammarian tumors (I don't know how?), and she's scheduled for a procedure to remove them next week. My question is, what the hell else could they be? The vet said they found 5-6 in total, they're shaped and feel exactly like a hardened BB pellet. Oh, should also say they seem to be in her skin, not connected to any organ or musculature. But they're all within a few CM from nipples.

Maybe it's some sort of parasite burrowed just under the skin? Does she go outside?

They don't seem to hurt her or don't seem sensitive enough to, it's still a week until the procedure so I'm mostly freaking out and trying to get more info before then, the vet seemed too busy to really explain anything.

Might also just be warts/cysts; I don't know about cats, but spaniels are super prone to growing huge benign fatty blobs under the skin. Some of them are mounds, some of them are orbs...they're weird, but overall pretty harmless (if terrifying to a first-time spaniel owner). Never even got them diagnosed, because there are apparently tons of reasons why it can happen. Try to keep a level head until the biopsy!

How old was she when she was spayed?
