Quoting nick Corselli:
I was just told that I have three cm mass in the inguinal region. This observation was due to an MRI intended to diagnose difficulties with my right hip. I've experienced no pain or discomfort is a biopsy the next step, and are lipomas frequently encountered in this area?


Hi Nick,

Do you know if this mass is superficial or deep? It could be a benign lipoma which can occur in many places and is usually found superficially or it could be a normal/reactive lymph node, which are abundant in the inguinal region.
There may also be a chance it could be due to a inguinal hernia.
What does the MRI report suggest this could be? Have you been referred for ultrasound? This may also be useful perhaps before having invasive procedure.
Biopsy would be good if they can't work out what this mass is with imaging.

Hope all goes well.
