Not sure, but if he's eating he'll probably recover.

From http://www.chucksaddiction.com/disease.html:

Lymphocyctis virus (http://www.vet.uga.edu/vpp/clerk/Kurkjian/). This virus induces massive cells to form which appear grossly as grayish-white masses on the fins and gills. Such abnormal cells may also be found in the muscle and body cavity.
May be confused with chlamydia infections (epitheliocystis), parasitic cysts or sarcomas. Infections are usually self-limiting and may spontaneously clear of their own accord.
