Answer 1

Bulto can refer to an amorphous shape or mass. Lump in the context you mentioned is a perfect synomym. It would refer to a cyst or nodule found in a woman's breast for example. Such lumps or cysts are biopsied to see if they are cancerous or not. (benign or malignant).[harmful or not].

Bulto can also mean a hulk or a large figure seen indistinctly in the dark, etc. If you have other contexts please post them and we'll find the proper translation of bulto.
