A hypoechoic structure or mass is a mass which appears as very dark when ultrasound pictures are taken. It could be indicative of a tumor, or it may be benign.

∙ 9y agoHypoechoic" refers to the "darker" appearance of a structure relative to adjacent structures at ultrasound.
"Lesion" is a non-specific term that means basically "spot."
So, at ultrasound, a "hypoechoic lesion" is an indeterminate "dark spot" that typically will need further follow-up.
(Without actually seeing the "lesion," I would hesitate to be more precise or specific regarding various possibilities which may manifest as a "hypoechoic lesion."
