[|Human|] My 8 year old just showed me a lump in is upper groin where is leg meets his trunk. He says he feels fine and he figured he must have banged it playing hockey this morning but cant remember doing so. Should I be concerned or do you think it is a swollen gland?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump at the junction of leg and groin is most commonly due to lymph node enlargement. Trauma is less likely to cause a swelling at this site. An aspiration cytology of the lump is required. In aspiration cytology, cells are aspirated from the swelling using a needle, spread on a slide and stained with appropriate stain. The stained cells are studied microscopically to assess the site of origin and nature of the lesion. Management can be done after diagnosing the condition. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
