I have a beautiful platy aptly named "Tiger". Anyway she has lumps growing on her, particularly where the scale colour is black. The yellow scaled areas tend to be absent of lumps. Initially a lump was in the head region. Now it is more obvious and spreading. Two other lumps have grown on her left side where the black strip is, and the underneath at the back has become considerable. She used to spend her days hanging out with her daughter "Cheetah", but now is she hiding regularly. She still comes out to beg for food and eat. Fins have been clamped recently. No other fish has these symptoms.
I suspect that she may have cancer?
