Overview

Answers About Lumps and Swelling

A soft tissue ultrasound focuses on a specific area of concern — a lump, swelling or painful spot — to determine whether it is solid or fluid-filled and how it relates to surrounding structures.

Why Your Doctor May Order It

  • A new lump or bump under the skin
  • Suspected cyst, lipoma or abscess
  • Possible abdominal-wall or groin hernia
  • Swelling after an injury
  • Follow-up of a known superficial mass
