Lump
"Creates lumps on potatoes, causing them to rot."
It sounds like you are looking for nothing more complicated than "瘤", a "lump, knot, bump or hump." If there is a more technical term for this or not, I'm not sure - I did take a quick look around but couldn't find anything.
If this is cancer, even "growth" might not be going too far. It sounds like it fits but see what you think in context.
