You are describing: a BIRADS 3(probably benign) lesion based on the ultrasound features. By definition, there is less than 2% chance of malignancy, and the usual management in an average risk patient is short interval follow up, typically every 6 months for 2 years.

If you are REALLY concerned, or if the breast is causing you symptoms, you could look into having a doctor / surgeon drain the cyst and send the fluid for cytology (to look for odd-looking cells).

Self-detected lump: An exam by a qualified physician is appropriate
doesn't require expensive testing, should be affordable to evaluate without health insurance (as most outpatient conditions are, as well).

Any mass that does not go away within 2 weeks requires evaluation by your doctor. If a biopsy (tissue sample) is required, make sure a needle biopsy is performed first. The results come back in 2-3 days.

Only if it's cancer!: Unless you can be sure that lump is not a cancer, you should have your doctor check it out. It could be a cyst, benign fibrous lump, or just a "nothing." but, it could also be an early cancer. Wouldn't you want to find out for sure? And don't let a doctor tell you it's ok without having more proof if indeed this is something different from the rest of your breast tissue. "thinking" is not proving!
