Corns on rabbits

Hi
I wrote a post a couple of days ago about my rabbit having a scab on her mouth- see post below.
I have been to the vets today and they feel she has a corn that is growing out of control.
She is booked in on Fri to have it removed under GA and sent to the lab for histology- I guess to see if it is something sinister?
I have never heard of rabbits having corns- can anyone else shed any light!!
Also need goodvibes that she will get through her GA ok

Please help if you can guys.
A couple of weeks ago we noticed a scab forming on the bottom lip of our bunny Moggy.
We just presumed she'd cuaght herself and that it would heal of its own accord- this has not happened, in fact the scab has got longer and now looks like a giant tooth (and is definitely not a real tooth btw)to a length of approx 1 cm downwards
In the last couple of days it has really shot up in size and I am now very worried- I have a vets appointment on Tuesday but I wondered if anyone had any idea what it may be.
Just to add that in herself she is 100% fine- no probs eating/drinking or pegging it up and down the stairs- just this ever growing scab.

Sorry to hear of this. I always imagined corns as what old ladies get on their toes, when they wear too tight shoes!!
Hope it all goes well..
Sending corn-free vibes... and bunny hugs xxx
 
Is the vet defintely sure it's not syphyllis?? This can show with crusty growths to the mouth.
