METHODS: We present a case of a woman who experienced a gradual increase in size of a lump in her groin area. The lump was later diagnosed and completely removed. Histological analysis revealed the presence of a ganglion cyst.
UNASSIGNED: Clinical examination is crucial for diagnosing superficial ganglion cysts. It allows us to assess their separation from the skin and connection to deeper structures. It\'s important to consider ganglion cysts as part of the differential diagnosis for cystic lesions in the groin area during routine medical practice. This can help avoid unnecessary and expensive tests like MRI scans in some cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Developing a thorough differential diagnosis for uncommon lesions in specific anatomical areas is essential in clinical practice. This aids in choosing appropriate diagnostic methods and surgical intervention, if necessary, to prevent recurrence of the condition.
方法:我们介绍了一例女性,她的腹股沟区肿块逐渐增大。肿块后来被诊断并完全切除。组织学分析显示存在神经节囊肿。
■临床检查对于诊断浅表神经节囊肿至关重要。它使我们能够评估它们与皮肤的分离以及与更深结构的连接。在常规医疗实践中,重要的是将神经节囊肿作为腹股沟区囊性病变鉴别诊断的一部分。在某些情况下,这可以帮助避免不必要和昂贵的测试,如MRI扫描。
结论:对特定解剖区域的罕见病变进行彻底的鉴别诊断在临床实践中是至关重要的。这有助于选择适当的诊断方法和手术干预,如有必要,以防止病情复发。
