[|Human|] Hello I have a lump on my right side groin area its rather large and on the inside not outside, also I have this wicked cough and feel weak and tired at times not sure if it is any relation. The coughing,weak,and tiredness has just started with in the past 5 days. I noticed the lump on Oct 4th. In 2009 I us to get checked for skin cancer to sum that up I was being treated as having mycosis fungoides which is in several spots. No one,however, has actually dignosed me with this.The doctor is worried because in the area of my right hip is a spot which is somewhat by the lump in my grion. I have a biopsy on tuesday. In you opinon what do you think this could be? Thank you for your time!
[|AI|]  Hello Kaylee, Thank you for your query. The main reason of a lump in group could be 1- Inguinal hernia 2- Enlarge inguinal lymph nodes 3- Benign soft tissue tumor, or lipoma Inguinal hernia could be one of the common reason, and it might cause due to the cough, i.e. increased lower abdomen pressure leading to protrusion of the abdominal contents through a weak point in groin.  Age and weight of a person and chronic history of cough are important in ruling out this.  This is sometimes reducible i.e. by putting manual pressure, or it can be irreducible. This gets more prominent while coughing As you have a history of mitosis fungoides.there is also this possibility of enlarged lymph nodes.  These are usually painless and do not change with cough or strain. Lipoma or the soft tumor can be detected by the biopsy.  As you are scheduled for the biopsy it would be more clear the causation of the lump Thank you
