Understanding Soft Tissue Mass Surgery
Not every lump or bump beneath the skin is cause for concern—but when a growth changes in size, causes discomfort, or affects your mobility, it’s important to have it evaluated. At Orlando Minimally Invasive Surgery (OMIS), our board-certified surgeons provide expert care for the diagnosis and surgical removal of soft tissue masses, ensuring safety, precision, and peace of mind.
Our team focuses on patient-centered treatment and thorough evaluation, helping you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
What Are Soft Tissue Masses?
Soft tissue masses are abnormal growths that can develop in the body’s connective tissues—such as muscles, fat, tendons, or ligaments. Most are benign (noncancerous), but some may require removal for diagnostic or medical reasons.
Common types of soft tissue masses include:
- Lipomas (fatty growths)
- Sebaceous cysts
- Fibromas
- Ganglion cysts
- Bursae or benign nodules
- Soft tissue sarcomas (rare malignant tumors)
While many of these growths are harmless, it’s important to have them examined by a qualified surgeon to rule out serious conditions and determine whether surgical removal is necessary.
Signs You May Need Soft Tissue Mass Evaluation
You may need a surgical consultation if you notice:
- A lump that continues to grow or changes shape
- Pain, tenderness, or restricted movement near the mass
- A firm or fixed mass beneath the skin
- Signs of infection (redness, swelling, drainage)
- Cosmetic or functional concerns affecting daily life
Our surgeons perform detailed evaluations, including imaging or biopsy if needed, to confirm whether a mass is benign or requires removal.

What to Expect from Soft Tissue Mass Surgery
Surgery to remove a soft tissue mass involves excising the growth along with a small margin of surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal. The procedure is often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Recovery time depends on the size and location of the mass but is generally brief. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities within a few days. Our team provides clear post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
