What Causes Lump Inside Bicep To Disappear After Applying Pressure?

Approximately four days ago i discovered a small elongated object just to the inside of my right bicep. Tonight i was showing it to a friend and after a few times of pushing on it it totally disappeared. it was close to the surface, just under the skin. is there any cause for alarm at this point!

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of your case, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     a simple herniation of muscle or fascia; not to worry in this case!
2.     The second possibility is of benign cyst like ganglion or bursa or lymphatic cyst: nothing to worry in this case also!
3.     The last possibility is of vascular swelling like aneurysm or valve dysfunction of veins or some dilated varicose vein. this needs the opinion of a vascular surgeon!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and doppler ultrasound of the region for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
