Have Lump Under Arm. Ultrasound Results Unclear. What Is Going On?

I had an ultrasound today for a lump in my under arm. The tex was unsure of what was going on so she had the radiologist come in and look. He is sure its not a lymph node. But he thinks its an area of muscle. There was something else they both thought they seen just under the lump but both were unsure because it was to deep. I'm unclear of what's going on

Hello

Your lump needs to be evaluated in detail. Best investigation to tell whether it is muscle or something else is biopsy but before that I will advice to get a MRI done to see the nature and actual size and extent of the lump.

Best wishes
