Abstract
Groin pain is a common condition in young males with varied differentials. Inguinal hernia, funiculitis and spermatic cord lipoma are relatively common with different management strategies. Thus reaching a definitive diagnosis on clinico-radiological profile is essential. We present a case of groin pain with simultaneous presence of three mimickers.
Keyword: Groin pain, Funiculitis , inguinal hernia, spermatic cord lipoma.
