What a soft tissue lump ultrasound looks at

A soft-tissue ultrasound characterises a lump anywhere on the body to help tell benign from concerning. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

A soft-tissue ultrasound characterises a lump or swelling almost anywhere on the body and helps tell a harmless lump from one that needs further tests. It is the ideal scan for a new or growing lump, a lump that is painful or changing, or reassurance about a long-standing one. We assess the size, depth, borders and blood flow, which usually identifies common benign lumps such as lipomas, cysts and ganglions.

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. It helps to be able to point to the lump so we scan the right spot. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the area of concern. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Soft Tissue Lump Ultrasound — common questions

Can an ultrasound tell if a lump is cancer?

Ultrasound cannot give a definite diagnosis, but it identifies the common harmless lumps very well and flags features that warrant a biopsy or specialist referral, so most people are reassured.

Which lumps can be scanned?

Almost any lump you can feel under the skin or in soft tissue — arms, legs, trunk, neck and more. If a lump is very deep or unusual we will advise whether another test is better.

How much does a soft tissue lump ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a soft tissue lump ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
