Most lumps are harmless.
Ultrasound is how you actually know.
A lump under the skin can be a cyst, a lipoma, a swollen gland, or something else entirely — feel alone can't tell you which.
Ultrasound gives a clear, immediate answer.
Clear findings, with a clear next step
Simple & Benign
Most soft tissue lumps turn out to be straightforward — cysts, lipomas, or fluid-filled swellings that need no urgent action.
Worth Monitoring
Some findings are best tracked over time — you'll be told exactly what to watch for and when to come back.
Flagged for Referral
Anything with features outside routine findings is referred on promptly, with a clear explanation of why.
If you've found something you can't explain
Soft tissue ultrasound can be used almost anywhere on the body — this isn't limited to one area or one sex.
Lumps Under the Skin
New or long-standing lumps you'd like properly identified.
Cysts
Known or suspected cysts you'd like assessed, sized, or monitored.
Lipomas
Soft, mobile lumps under the skin, commonly on the trunk, arms, or shoulders.
Swollen Glands or Nodes
Persistent swelling in the neck, armpit, or groin that hasn't settled.
Muscle or Soft Tissue Pain
Unexplained pain or swelling in a muscle, without an obvious injury.
General Reassurance
Sometimes you just want confirmation that a longstanding lump is nothing to worry about.
