Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
CT scan will tell you exactly from where the lump is arising and whether it is solid or cystic and may even tell if its malignant or benign and the presence of any other smaller lumps which might have gone undetected by clinical examination due to their small size.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
