Many different ways: There are many different ways of practicing medicine. And in most cases, there is more than one "right" way to treat a particular problem. Not knowing the specifics for your lump (how it feels, movable vs. Immovable, how long its been present, fluctuance, location, etc.) it is difficult to guess the reason for one's particular approach. Discuss this with your doctor, or get a 2nd opinion.
