Hello,

Lump in arm is not an uncommon thing. Here are probable causes of lump in the arm
1) Lipoma painless, benign
2) Neurofibroma sometimes associated with numbness and pain
3) Sarcoma
4) Ganglion cyst
5) Lymphoma
6) Granuloma
7) Fibroma
8) Melanoma

In order to find out what your bell shaped lump is, we need to examine the lump in person. Finally excision is to be performed to get rid of the lump. Please see a physician or general surgeon who can examine the lump and arrive at specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
