Nonspecific finding: The cause of the lump remains unclear without information regarding the borders and echo texture of the lesion. Whether there are calcifications and the pattern of blood flow are also important. The fact there is flow in the lesion excludes some diagnoses but there are still many possibilities. Other modalities like MRI may also provide info.

Blood flow: Simply the presence of blood flow in a mass doesn't mean much other than it is not a fluid filled structure/cyst, which wouldn't have internal flow. It confirms that it is solid, but little else.
