What causes a lump in groin?
Patient: my 16 mth old has a lump in groin cbc was normal and diff too doctors dont know what it is a lymph node or a cyst scared it cancer or something a mother always worries she is not sick and it doesnt seem to hurt her it is the size of a brown bean and it is not painful when touched Doctor: Hi.I can understand the feeling a Mother has . The baby is just 16 months old. I would like you to examine the peri-anal area , if there is any fissure or excoriation / abrasion of the skin. This area drains into the inguinal / groin lymph nodes. If the finding is positive request your Doctor to have a look at this and a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines will cure this problem.If there is no such findings, you can request for an ultrasonography and guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. This will give the perfect diagnosis and a way for a further treatment.
