White lumps in Dressed Rabbit meat

I have dressed meat rabbits for year. For the first time found small white lumps in the rib cavity that looks like fat deposits. Has anyone had a similar experience

Did you mean that you have dressed rabbits for a year (one year) or that you've dressed them for years (many years) ?
I've never seen or heard of such a condition before. It sure doesn't sound normal. Was it just one rabbit, or several? Did you think to get pictures? Did you cut into one of the lumps to see what the interior was like? What size were the lumps? You said "small" but it would be more useful to have something else to compare them to. The size of a grain of barley? A pea? Or what?

how do they differ from "normal" interior fat deposits?
meat-mutt rabbits, a few laying hens.
