You know how I volunteer in that exotic vet clinic? We see quite a few tumor/cancerous abcess removals in argies, more so than in any other species of snake (I'm not quite sure why, but I'm sure Dr. Driggers could explain it to me) but it's still pretty rare. They're typically in the mouth or throat and require minor surgery, but are almost always removed completely. I think it's usually connected to poor husbandry and develops from stomatitis so I doubt you have anything to worry about.
