Hi Bradly: It is impossible to tell without seeing your hamster if these are tumors. The only way to know is a physical exam. Any veterinarian can do this for you, but some veterinarians also have a special interest in the more exotic or "pocket pets" like a hamster. You might try to look for one of those in your area.
