Differences between lump and bump?
The ultrasound results show that there aren't any ... in your stomach?
In this case should I use lump, bump or knot to fill in the blank to describe a small part that made of bad tissues in the body like when you have cancer.
By the way, can you suggest a good medical dictionary (online)?

In this context, you would use the word lump. As it would stand for a bundled mass, that has been shown on an ultrasound. The words bump and lump can both be used, however, to mean something similar.
I have a bump/lump on my head. In American English at least, it is common to say bump, however, bump is also a verb. Lump can also be used to describe something that is under the skin, or in the body, and has a hard knot feeling.
There are many websites, such as WebMD, you can search for, for medical advice and questions. However, I caution doing so, because sometimes the meaning of symptoms could be nothing, but looking it up on a website, can make it seem a lot worse.
