Answer 3

Do you have a syrian hamster? Then what you may think is a lump sounds like a male hamster's testicles. They appear as soft lumps, or as one large lump with perhaps a small crease in the middle near the anal region.

Check the diagram of the male syrian in the following link to compare with your hamster -

Answer 4

If it is coming out of the a**s, it is most likely a hernia.  Those are repairable sometimes, you'll need a vet to check it out.  It could be a tumor, but seems like an unlikely spot for one.
