A member asked:

When i underwent scanning it gave result that small lymph nodes at both inguinal regions what that actually means is it a serious problem? please help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: A problem. Mildly prominent lymph nodes are commonly seen in the inguinal regions. Absent other history, physical exam findings, or other issues on the scan to raise concerns i would not be worried about this finding.

I got an ultrasound of a lump in my groin (NOT a lymph node). The results were: capsulated stricture with echogenicity similar to subcutaneous fat measuring 1.8 x 1.1 x 1.5cm in size. No adenopathy. What does all that mean? Findings said lipoma?
