A member asked:

Big mass in groin area. ultrasound said mass has a blood flow. what does this mean? can this be cancer? very serious? referred to urologist. worried

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mass: Presnece of blood flow doesn't equal either a cancer or benign lesion. The location and origin of the mass and later tissue biopsy wools decide that. Presence of blood flow makes biopsy complex. Need to know where in the groin is them lesion and how big. Best of luck
