tumours can occur anywhere so yes it certainly is possible. If you are concerned take it to see a vet. It could be a tumour or other growth of some kind or it could be eggbound, it could be impacted from it's substrate.

If you coudl take a photo it may help.

hang on a sec, have a word with your vet, he should be able to tell the difference betwqeen an egg and a tumour and if she is eggbound then it's a case of a simple injection or two and crossing your fingers that she makes it but he must act now or the strain will kill her.

If it is egg bound it will not survive this two week period the vet is suggestiong. Sounds to me he's saying he's not sure and if you leave it for a couple of weeks it'll either be dead or better.
