ABSTRACT
Inguinal hernias are common in the pediatric population. We describe a 10-year-old child who presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Ultrasound examination demonstrated an aperistaltic multicystic inguinal mass of uncertain origin. The mass was resected, and the adjacent hernia was repaired. Histologic examination identified the mass as a mesothelial cyst. Mesothelial cysts are rare groin lesions in children that can masquerade as an incarcerated inguinal hernia in a child.
