You have not mentioned detail about lump so it is very difficult to comment. Like If it is lipoma then it should be soft, fluctuating, easily movalble .If it achillis teat there should be history of injury and you should not be able to run. Also if it is sarcoma then it should be relatively less movable and firm like apple. So you can judge by your self. Or post your ultrasound report to me and i will be able to tell you that.
