Abstract:

A 35-year-old man presented with an acute, painful lower left quadrant and groin mass with signs of sepsis. On examination, it was difficult to tell whether this was a strangulated hernia or collection. Biochemical investigations revealed raised inflammatory markers and radiological investigations showed a rare inflammatory condition, acute suprascrotal vasitis, which is mistaken for various other 'surgical' groin masses. This case report summarizes the importance of realizing this differential diagnosis for an acute groin masses and how imaging can prevent unnecessary surgery.
