  We examine the absorption cross section of the massive scalar field for the
higher-dimensional extended object. Adopting the usual quantum mechanical
matching conditions between the asymptotic and near-horizon solutions in radial
equation, we check whether or not the universal property of the absorption
cross section, which is that the low-energy cross section is proportional to
the surface area of horizon, is maintained when the mass effect is involved. It
is found that the mass effect in general does not break the universal property
of the cross section if particular conditions are required to the spacetime
geometry. However, the mass-dependence of the cross section is very sensitive
to the spacetime property in the near-horizon regime.
