Default pink bulb with points

I am wondering what is growing on the leaves of my maple trees. It is a
1/2 inch diameter pink bulb with thorn-like protrusions on it. I have
photos. Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

Maple Eyespot Gall? Or some other gall.

Pictures I have seen on the web of maple eyespot gall are simply a
discoloration on the leaf. This is actually a bulbous formation (a
seperate life form) that appears to either find a home on the leaf or
maybe even be parasitic.
