I have done some research on this because I recently had a ultrasound on a mass whaich stated there was a central focal area of hypoechogenicity.

According to the Merriam-Webster online Medical dictionary, "echogenic" means: reflecting ultrasound waves

and "hypo" means: less than, below, or under

Therefore, hypoechogenicity could refer to something that does not reflect ultrasound waves well (or uniformly).

Generally, this would be a more firm or dense mass like mine.

Hopefully this helps!
