A member asked:

I recently discovered a 1cm lump in my right armpit. my ultrasound report says this: in the area of palpable concern just below the skin surface is an oval isoechoic mass with central fluid which extends from the skin surface. does that sound benign?

Sds like lymph node: The reading would likely indicate a lymph node which are normal structures in that area. Discuss this with the doc who ordered the test & examined you.
