Cancers usually develop on golden retriever s bodies in the form of lumps. Because these tumors pose no immediate or long term health risk to dogs they are not usually removed. However lumps in golden retrievers can mean several different things. My 12 year old also has many fatty tumors including a very large one on her side two big ones on her belly and one right near her left front armpit or is it legpit.
