Synovial cyst of the hip: an unusual cause of an inguinal mass.
A palpable groin mass is a common surgical problem. The authors describe the case of a 58-year-old man who had a painless right groin mass. Initial clinical evaluation suggested a femoral hernia. Subsequent radiologic evaluation revealed a synovial cyst of the hip. Awareness of this anomaly will aid early diagnosis and influence treatment.
