aneurysm
Suggested by: systolic bruit in the epigastrium (over
mass), expansive pulsatile swelling
Confirmed by: ultrasound/CT abdomen
Renal artery
stenosis
Suggested by: systolic bruit in the right upper quadrant,
hypertension
Confirmed by: renal arteriography—digital
subtraction angiography
Dissecting aorta Suggested by: tearing abdominal pain radiating to
back and hypotension. Brachial–ankle gradient and

CHAPTER 11 GI signs
278
Lump in the groin
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Inguinal hernia
Suggested by: origin horizontally just above and medial
to pubic tubercle, impulse on coughing or bearing
down, reducible
Confirmed by: above clinical examination and surgery
Femoral hernia
Suggested by: origin horizontally just below and
lateral to pubic tubercle, cough impulse rarely
detectable, usually irreducible (because of narrow
femoral canal)
Confirmed by: above clinical examination and surgery
Strangulated
hernia
Suggested by: irreducible, tense and tender, red,
followed by symptoms and signs of bowel obstruction
Confirmed by: above clinical examination and surgery

ultrasound scan
Saphena varix
(dilatation of
long saphenous
vein in the
groin)

inguinal ligament, empties with minimal pressure and
refills on release, disappears on lying down, cough
impulse
Confirmed by: above clinical examination
Cold abscess
of psoas sheath
Suggested by: fluctuant tender swelling arising below
the inguinal ligament
Confirmed by: ultrasound, exploration of groin
ANAL APPEARANCE1
279
