The rounded knobs are tumors. Damage to a tip or bud of the Sitka spruce caused growth cells to divide more rapidly than normal to form these swellings or burls.
Chemically the same as normal wood, a burl is technically not a cancer.
The nearby ocean seems to be a factor. Possibly an attacking bud worm triggered the change, perhaps by carrying a virus or an inorganic compound from the salt spray into the tree.
These burls are sold in a high price.

As some of you know I had a near fatal encounter with a brain tumor in 2010. My daughter found me unconscious and called 911. I thank her every day for saving my life!
Meningioma
A usually noncancerous tumor that arises from the membranes surrounding
the brain and spinal cord.
It isn't clear what causes a meningioma. Radiation therapy, female hormones, and genetics may play a role. In most cases, the condition is noncancerous.
Symptoms may include changes in vision, headaches, hearing loss, and seizures.
A small, slow-growing meningioma that isn't causing signs or symptoms may not require treatment. When needed, treatment might involve surgery or radiation.

(Note: I have been looking or Gershwin's passport application for a long time. I knew he had gone to London for the 1922 production of "The Rainbow". Finally I hit on the version of his name that he was using at the time, Jacob Gershwine.)
George Gershwin was born in Brooklyn in 1898, the second of four children from a close-knit immigrant family. He began his musical career as a song-plugger on Tin Pan Alley, but was soon writing his own pieces. Gershwin’s first published song, “When You Want ‘Em, You Can’t Get ‘Em,” demonstrated innovative new techniques, but only earned him five dollars. Soon after, however, he met a young lyricist named Irving Ceaser. Together they composed a number of songs including “Swanee,” which sold more than a million copies.
In the same year as “Swanee,” Gershwin collaborated with Arthur L. Jackson and Buddy De Sylva on his first complete Broadway musical, “La, La Lucille”. Over the course of the next four years, Gershwin wrote forty-five songs; among them were “Somebody Loves Me” and “Stairway to Paradise,” as well as a twenty-five-minute opera, “Blue Monday.” Composed in five days, the piece contained many musical clichés, but it also offered hints of developments to come.
In 1924, George collaborated with his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin, on a musical comedy “Lady Be Good”. It included such standards as “Fascinating Rhythm” and “The Man I Love.” It was the beginning of a partnership that would continue for the rest of the composer’s life. Together they wrote many more successful musicals including “Oh Kay!” and “Funny Face”, staring Fred Astaire and his sister Adele. While continuing to compose popular music for the stage, Gershwin began to lead a double life, trying to make his mark as a serious composer.
When he was 25 years old, his jazz-influenced “Rhapsody in Blue” premiered in New York’s Aeolian Hall at the concert, “An Experiment in Music.” The audience included Jascha Heifitz, Fritz Kreisler, Leopold Stokowski, Serge Rachmaninov, and Igor Stravinsky. Gershwin followed this success with his orchestral work “Piano Concerto in F, Rhapsody No. 2″ and “An American in Paris”. Serious music critics were often at a loss as to where to place Gershwin’s classical music in the standard repertoire. Some dismissed his work as banal and tiresome, but it always found favor with the general public.
In the early thirties, Gershwin experimented with some new ideas in Broadway musicals. “Strike Up The Band”, “Let ‘Em Eat Cake”, and “Of Thee I Sing”, were innovative works dealing with social issues of the time. “Of Thee I Sing” was a major hit and the first comedy ever to win the Pulitzer Prize. In 1935 he presented a folk opera “Porgy and Bess” in Boston with only moderate success. Now recognized as one of the seminal works of American opera, it included such memorable songs as “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” and “Summertime.”
In 1937, after many successes on Broadway, the brothers decided go to Hollywood. Again they teamed up with Fred Astaire, who was now paired with Ginger Rogers. They made the musical film, “Shall We Dance”, which included such hits as “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” Soon after came “A Damsel in Distress”, in which Astaire appeared with Joan Fontaine. After becoming ill while working on a film, he had plans to return to New York to work on writing serious music. He planned a string quartet, a ballet and another opera, but these pieces were never written. At the age of 38, he died of a brain tumor. Today he remains one of America’s most beloved popular musicians.

Strider was diagnosed with cancer that had already spread to his lungs at the end of July 2016 & within just 3 weeks it was apparent that his degree of pain was increasing despite taking pain medication. We decided that we would end his suffering on Aug 26, 2016. He was so young (5 yrs old) & the cancer was so aggressive. You can see how he's holding his back leg out away from his body in this shot because the tumor was on the inside of his thigh.
Boomer had surgery to remove a perianal tumor on 2/14/23. You can see what the tumor looked like in the photo in the comments - I was just glad that it never looked as awful as the photos of these kind of tumors seen on the internet. The vet warned me that it was a painful surgery, and for the first few days afterward Boomer was in a lot of pain, even with pain medicine. Luckily, he's recovery really well, and is almost back to his old self. (this photo was taken the day after surgery, when he was still feeling miserable)
