A member asked:

Get exam: A lump can be anything from a simple benign cyst to a malignancy. Most likely it is the former and can often be diagnosed and resolved at the initial visit. If , however, it is something unusual or pernicious, many tests from x-rays, labs, aspiration, biopsy or removal surgically may be necessary and important.
