A Lump and Bump Ultrasound Scan is often the first imaging test recommended for a new lump under the skin, a soft tissue swelling, a suspected lipoma, a cyst, a ganglion, a haematoma, or an unexplained mass. Ultrasound can help identify whether the lump is solid or fluid-filled, measure its size and depth, assess blood flow with Doppler, and decide whether reassurance, monitoring, referral, MRI, or biopsy is needed.

Common Lumps & Bumps Assessed
What Can a Lump and Bump Ultrasound Scan Detect?
Any new, changing or unexplained lump should be assessed. Ultrasound is often the first diagnostic step because it is quick, safe and highly useful for soft tissue characterisation.
Common Conditions Seen on a Lump and Bump Ultrasound Scan
- LipomaA benign fatty lump, usually soft and mobile. Ultrasound typically shows a well-defined echogenic mass with no concerning vascularity.
- Ganglion cystA fluid-filled sac arising from a joint or tendon sheath. Ultrasound can confirm fluid content and identify the stalk.
- Epidermoid or sebaceous cystA skin-related cyst that may become inflamed or infected. Ultrasound helps distinguish it from lipoma or abscess.
- HaematomaA collection of blood after trauma. Ultrasound can assess size, stage and whether it is resolving.
- Baker’s cystA fluid-filled swelling behind the knee that may track into the calf if ruptured.
Nerve, vascular and concerning masses
- Nerve sheath tumourBenign nerve-related lumps such as schwannoma or neurofibroma can often be seen in continuity with a nerve.
- Haemangioma or vascular lesionDoppler ultrasound helps identify blood flow and vascular features within the lump.
- AbscessA painful infected fluid collection requiring medical assessment and possible drainage.
- Lymph node enlargementUltrasound can assess size, shape, fatty hilum and vascular pattern where relevant.
- Soft tissue sarcoma red flagsRare but important. Large, deep, rapidly growing, hard, fixed or painful lumps require urgent assessment and may need MRI.
