When I noticed the orange spots on my bearded dragon, Nova, I should have just immediately consulted the vet. Because I was not familiar with iridophoromas in bearded dragons, the thought did not even cross my mind. My only familiarity with iridophoromas is in lemon frost leopard geckos, which is something they're born with due to their morph. Because they have visible tumors from an early age and because it is morph-related, I didn't even think to wonder if the orange spots were pigment cells that could also cause cancer. I will use this failure on my end to be more aware of any color changes, however minimal, to my reptiles. And I hope you take my mistake and avoid it yourself.
Here is a research article about iridophoromas in reptiles, specifically lemon frost leopard geckos as they have been studied more heavily: journals.plos....
