Description
Christodoulos Chatzigrigoriadis and co-authors report, in a 2024 case study, a rare soft tissue tumor found as a groin lump in a man treated for urinary stones. The tumor type, called deep angiomyxoma, is benign but creeps into nearby tissue and often grows large. It is far more common in women and is often mistaken for a hernia or other groin lumps in men.
The patient, an older man, came in with blood in his urine from stones and a silent groin mass. A body scan confirmed the mass, and it was removed surgically. The authors stress scans and biopsy before surgery, since this tumor returns often and needs clear margins and long follow-up.
