Hey there,
hypoechoic means not having many echos. Hard to say more than that . The decision to remove something is usually dependent on size (usually remove if larger than 4 to 5 cm). It is not possible to make any statements about diagnosis. Good luck with your biopsy.
please let us know how things goes
best wishes
