what is this?

Just found this on my dogs gumline. I'm assuming it's a tumor? Any feedback or thoughts?

It looks like fibrous epulis, but it will need to be removed so it doesn't start to give him problems when he eats.  The good news is that epulis is always benign and it doesn't spread, but it should be biopsied anyway just to be sure.  Please let us  know what the vet says.

Please update and good luck
