Excision of a Subcutaneous Mass/Lesion

Excision of a Subcutaneous Mass/Lesion is a surgical procedure to remove an abnormal growth located just beneath the skin, such as a lipoma, cyst, or other benign or suspicious lesion. The procedure involves making a small incision over the mass, carefully dissecting it from the surrounding tissue, and removing it entirely. The tissue is often sent to a pathology lab for examination to determine its nature.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Oftentimes, abscesses can be treated through the use of antibiotics. However, if conservative efforts are ineffective at providing relief, surgical intervention may be recommended. If left untreated, an infected abscess can spread to surrounding tissues and cause serious health concerns including pneumonia, inflammation in the heart, and brain abscess.

What To Expect

Patients are placed under local anesthesia to numb the area. The surgeon makes a small incision directly over the mass or lesion. The abnormal tissue is carefully separated from surrounding healthy tissue and completely removed. If necessary, the specimen is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue and covered with a sterile dressing. Following the procedure, mild soreness, bruising, and swelling may occur. Recovery is generally quick, and most patients can return to normal activities the same day or within a few days.
