growths

I have a dwarf hamster that has many grape size growths on its abdomen.  Are these tumors? The skin/fur is in tact, there is no leakage of material, and the hamster seems to be fine.  Is it ok for my children to play/hold him?  Are there any Bio or safety issues I need to be aware of?

The life span for a hamster is 2 years old so if your hamster is a youngster a needle aspirate by your veterinarian will reveal if the mass is benign and a candidate for surgery.
