Soft Tissue - Inguinal Lymphadenitis
Caption
A 30s F presented with L groin pain and swelling. On exam she had pain and focal soft tissue swelling over her inguinal crease. POCUS was performed which demonstrated this enlarged lymph node, suggesting lymphadenitis. In this clip, the lymph node is shown using color doppler, which shows a small amount of flow at the lymph node hilum, without other areas of flow in the node. In the last part of the clip, compression with the probe does not change the shape of the node, differentiating it from an abscess or cyst. This patient was treated symptomatically and discharged with outpatient follow up of her lymphadenitis. Dr. Stephen Wolf Denver Health Medical Center
