Shot this deer and noticed this tumor. Fatty and full of what looks like puss. Also while quartering noticed the bubbles in this meat. Still worth processing? Normal or pass?

Could be a tumor or a abscess. Just cut around the lump which should be easy as it looks to be on the bottom stomach area, not any meat there really. The "bubbles" are fine. Do some trimming. Meat is good to go in the freezer.
 
I shot a deer w/ something similar a few years ago--cut around it and the meat was just fine. Kind of gross but wasn't worth wasting the deer over.
 
The bubbles are totally normal. Not sure what to make of the growth - possible tumor or abscess. Cut around and process the meat like normal and I'm sure it'd be fine.
