R/O HERNIA: A groin lump or mass especially if it enlarges when standing may be a hernia. He needs to be examine and diagnosis confirmed. It can also be a fatty tumor, which is a lipoma . Lastly it can be an enlarged lymph node , which is more worrisome for Lymphoma. The doctor will check labs examine him and do a CT scan of Chest /Abd/Pelvis to confirm. Then surgery is always an option.
