Soft Tissue Lump Scan
Precise Subcutaneous Characterization
What Is A Soft Tissue Lump Scan?
A Soft Tissue Lump Ultrasound examines superficial masses anywhere on the body, assessing:
- Lipomas (benign fatty tissue growths)
- Ganglion cysts (joint or tendon sheath fluid)
- Epidermoid / sebaceous cysts
- Subcutaneous hematomas or fluid collections
- Vascular anomalies or foreign bodies
Discovering a lump under the skin can be worrying. A Soft Tissue Lump Scan provides instant reassurance by determining whether a mass is fluid-filled (cystic) or solid, measuring its exact depth, boundary margins, and internal blood flow.
High-frequency linear transducers give sub-millimeter visual detail, providing your GP or surgeon with the exact information needed if removal or monitoring is required.
A Soft Tissue Lump Scan delivers quick clarity on subcutaneous lumps, lipomas, and cysts with zero radiation exposure.

FAQ
Yes! Cysts are completely anechoic (fluid-filled with posterior enhancement), whereas lipomas show characteristic soft tissue echotexture parallel to skin layers.
Ultrasound can evaluate superficial soft tissue lumps anywhere on the arms, legs, back, abdomen, neck, or chest wall (excluding direct breast tissue scans).
No preparation is required. Simply wear clothing that allows easy exposure of the area where the lump is located.
