Hip synovial cyst presenting as femoral hernia –⁠ case report

Overview

We are pleased to introduce this interesting case report. A female patient presented to emergency department with a new lump in her right groin. Although there was quite convincing history for femoral hernia, the clinical findings were not correlating with this completely. The patient underwent ultrasound examination which showed synovial cyst originating from the right hip. This is a rare presentation of hip synovial cyst and we have therefore decided to publish this case report.
